4 of 5

This is a pretty good version of this otherwise great beer (tastes like sunshine). However, this version is a little out of balance...overly bitter. The WIPA 1.2 is much better and the 1.4, at least the plan is, will be the best yet. This is a citrusy, sweet, somewhat wheat-like IPA that goes quickly. I haven't found anyone who doesn't love it. The 1.4 adds 1lb of 10L Crystal to add a little body and sweetness to balance out the bitterness. I also went to Centennial for bittering to see what happens.
