Comments
Good Start, Bad Finish
Clear golden amber with a full finger and a half or so of a fluffy white head.
Lots of bright and hoppy aromas - grapefruit, citrus, and a crisp bready malt. A nice amount of the hoppy flavors as well. Unfortunately there is an extra helping of a harsh and long lasting bitterness. The amount of hop bitterness is way higher than the amount of hop flavor, unfortunately.
The Kentucky IPA had a good start, but a high bitter, harshness took away from some of the nice aromas (and probably the nice flavors as well).
