Kind of a sugary sweet ipa - I suppose the high.sweetness is needed to somewhat balance the fairly assertive bitterness - this creates a flavor of mandarin oranges in syrup and maraschino cherries - a lot of candied citrus in the.finish, along with strong but not abrasive bitterness -slight buttery diacetyl in the finish - potential in the recipe, but too sweet right now.
