This is a update to the Double Drunk Elf IPA, the brew has been tapped for about a week now and I have some thoughts:
The Body is very well balanced with the addition of Marris Otter. Following the advice from Vinny from at Russian River I have limited the amount of Crystal grains to only .75 # of Crystal 20. The brew almost has a thick body feel to it.
The nose/aroma/hops is very clearly Simcoe. I really like what this hop brings to the table in the aroma and nose. To be honest, I like it even more because it is a step away from Cascade that is used everywhere. The addition of the bigger AA hops leave a clearly double IPA backbone that is needed for this style.
Overall I WILL brew this IPA again, I think for the 1st brewing of this recipe I could not of asked for anything more. On the next batch, I promise I will change something I just do not know what yet.
