Fermentation
notes
Ferment at 64 degrees for 2 weeks, then dry hop and wait 7 days, cold crashing on the last day.

Tasting
notes
It poured a dark copper, and a white velvety head was prominent in the glass

 Aroma was hints of pine with the over arcing smell of fresh grapefruit.

The first sip, sweet malts that turn to a pronounced hop bitterness, ending in a crisp hop bite at the end that lingered just long enough for you to take that next sip. The fullness of the hop profiles really came out. Flavors of oranges, grapefruit, and pineapple all meshed together harmoniously.

It was balanced and smooth, just what I wanted.
