Update: Wet Hop

Just an update on the 2015 Mt Hood wet hop IPA (?) 

It’s been kegged and carbonating for a week now. So of course we need to be tasting it. 
If you have an IPA in your glass, you know it. This is not an IPA. (But then again, in today’s beer world it might very well be.) 
Everything was right on track the way I had intended it. Bitterness, taste, look, numbers,, but aroma failed. 
Very little aroma at all. But the beer it’s self is good.
But with the new Guidelines I think it fits squarely in British Strong Ale. 
Decent beer, just not how I expected the hops to react. But I do think the base beer is perfect. Work on the hopping.
