Hop bitterness has settled down, not much aroma left, some good balanced hop flavour and nice and carbonated now. Been enjoying a few pints of this one, hope it lasts :) |

Plenty of hop aroma, and plenty of flavour, oh and plenty of bitterness too. Hops, hops and more hops. Yippee! |

So far so good. Definite hop aroma from the hop tea in the secondary. Strong hop bitterness too, possibly too much, overshadowing malty sweetness. |

Racked to secondary. Lots of hop bitterness (whew), hopefully not too much. A touch sweet as it didn't finish as low as expected, but hops pack a bit of a punch. |
