Very good IPA. Extremely bitter at first. Bitterness settled down after about 3-4weeks in the bottle. Turned into an outstanding beer. The Cascade hops are very noticable in aroma. Great head and body. A little cloudy may want to add finings in secondary. Primary fermentation was very active+fast. Very fruity(grapefruit AKA Cascade hops..) flavor.
