Spring (Belgian) IPA

[sdixon]

I'll call this a Belgian IPA because I used Abbey Malt and some Noble Hops, but I didn't used Belgian yeast. I don't often make this style

pfft, hardly :evil:

(good to see you're starting to refine your tastes sdixon )

[sdixon]

Haha - it's all relative I suppose...tastes pretty hoppy to me, but my taste buds haven't been hop-desensitized as much as many of you. Look forward to getting some hop head feedback.

[Chris Craig]

Don't let them get to you sdixon!  My last IPA was only 65 IBUs.  I'm sure it'll be delicious, and I can't wait to try it.

pfft, hardly :evil:

Read carefully...

secretary HOP BOMB!

[Richard]

I... don't get it.

[JohnQ]

Most secretaries are women
Most women like lighter beer
For a secretary, this particular beer, would likely be a hop bomb.

[Richard]

Consider the penny dropped...
