WARNING: Kettle losses > 2% detected which throw off OG calculation for extract/partial mash recipes in batch target 'fermentor' mode. Solution: Reduce kettle losses, misc losses and hops absorption in equipment profile, OR set batch target to 'kettle' and do a full wort boil. See batch target FAQ.

Notes

This is hands down the best IPA I have ever tasted. The fragrence hits you in the face like a birthday cake! The first sip across the pallet brings out a smooth crisp semi-sweet light bodied ale followed by a delicous blend of grapefruit and passion fruit notes and then ends with a light kick in the teeth of bitterness. Perfectly ballenced. I have brewed this three times and the last two times were by request. Enjoy

The OG was slightly high coming in at 1.070 which is what I was counting on to drop the IBUs just a bit. First taste right on course for an amazing trilogy.

Wow. The Mosaic Hops add a new Element to this IPA. Delicous Grapefruit flavers with all the bitterness of big IPA.
