Better Brews IPA kit, kegged only last night so still very cloudy but already great head(ooh matron). Very sharp/grassy hop bitterness on both aroma and flavour, i wonder is that because it is still so young ? Anyway a nice drop,let's see what a week in the keg will do for it ;D
That should mellow a with a little time :)
Hopefully, have a stout kit kegged as well waiting until tomorrow after work to sample that ;D
