^^I am surprised you can still write after drinking all them beer
This is disappointing. There were 30g of Citra and 100g of Mosiac for the aroma steep and then dry hopped with 50g of AmarilloAroma 4/12 Lacking in aroma heavily. Very light citrus notes but very faint.
It should have been 35 IBU. One of the brew day fails, meaning it was mashed at a much higher temperature than intended possibly resulted in more residuals sugars (it didn't attenuate as much as it should have), may be these off set the bitterness.Appearance 2/3 Good head lacing, lovely cream colour.
Flavour 11/20 Very nice, fruit juice like. Lacking bitterness though. This tasted like 20IBU maybe? Mosaic hops?
Mouthfeel 2/3 Medium body, light carbonation. Worked well.
Overall Impression 4/10 Good effort but the lacking bitterness and poor aroma was the downfall.
Total 23/50
Most likely as the beers have been sat around for a month waiting to be opened.Thanks @Ghillie :hat: and congrats to @Pennine and @Markk
Interesting about the hop aroma as I'd assumed there'd be a fair few hop bombs among the entries.
Here's the recipe for my APA if anyone is interested:-
30L Batch

No problem pal!Many thanks for the feedback as it's really appreciated and not unexpected for this IPA. It's was a very pale and simple grist, with the aim to let the hops shine through and not be confused by powerful biscuit or malty notes.
So I was a little surprised with:
Overall Impression 4/10 Not a bad beer, lacking on the aroma front and rather missing in the flavour department on the hop front too
As it had 100g Amarillo and 100g cascade added evenly at flameout and dry hop in a 15l batch.
As this aroma comment was made across the board, sure you ain't coming down with a cold? :-) to my nose it has a similar punch to a brewdog punk ipa
