Just finished off my keg of this, was my first try at a 'big' brew after a few ones done in the Pinter and was ok-ish, I think the 'ish' was probably down to my mess-ups, I accidentally dropped half the hops in at the beginning of fermentation when trying to jerry rig something with bags and magnets!
It remained cloudy for a few weeks but the keg cleared reasonably for the last gallon or so. Was very 'brut', fermented out to 1.004 from an initial 1.052, with a pretty bitter finish (possibly from the 1/2 pack of hops sitting in it for too long!), it had less of a hopped aroma than I would have liked from an IPA and a definite twang of 'home-brew' but it was drinkable, my lad enjoyed it anyway (mind you he'll drink any old **** as long as it's cheap!!).
