Fresh Citrusy IPA Brewday

Lately we have had some of the best tasting IPAs. Both brewed by  Lagunitas, Daytime IPA and Little sumpin' sumpin' a Wheat Pale ale. Both tasted so good and drank so easy I decided to brew my take on them. They were very fragrant of citrus and light pine and tasted just the same. I picked these hops to help drive it home.

  1. Cascade 
  2.  Centennial
  3.  Simcoe
  4. Citra
Here are some picture of the brew day.











Brew today, See you tomorrow.
