Currently:
Definitely “tropical.” Very fruity; it doesn’t actually say any fruit was added but I think there was.

very new to brewing...tasted my ipa yesterday and it tastes great! absolutely awesome, a little on the hoppy side with a definite touch of honey but it hasn't carbonated yet, so the honey may get consumed. Our oatmeal stout is bubbling away now.

Waxer stove and structural pot filler was boss.
I'm attempting to hop up an Amber kit. Around 1.05 OG. Shooting for 5.5% abv. The hop profile is hoping to mimic lagunitas maximus.
Fax brewed up his special chocolate peanut butter Porter. It smells fantastic. He got super when the potfiller to quick connect hose to chiller coil leaked.
He pulled the fax on me about his knowledge and thought his brew was rekt. I tried to comfort him that 3 minutes off boil before full chill wasn't the end of world.
Time will tell if we brewed something worth a shit.
I also inherited about $800 of expensive brew gear from rayray.

But one thing...... Pellet hops?
Whole hops only for me.
Are you going off a recipe from a store or are you using software tool to calculate your IBUs from the hops AA?

All the hops!
More on the bitter side than the fruity.

Not great, there was a bit of a funky sourness to it.

Delicious. Right up my alley. Strong, dark, and bourboney.

I thought this was decent at first, but by then end wasn’t a fan. Hop profile was a little funky but not in a good way.
