Brady's Vitamin C IPA

Brewed this one trying to clone Tyranena's Scurvy.  While the Orange part of this IPA is lacking overall, this has become one of my favorite IPA's I have ever brewed.  Lighter body yet, orange color too it.  Hop aroma is great and the bitterness is right on.  I tried it when it was still young and was not a huge fan as it was bitter with not much maltyness to back it up.  After letting it mello for about 3-4 weeks after kegging, I have to say the flavors have meshed and the malt has come forward just enough to compliment the bitterness.

I may not be the best brewer in the world, but this IPA made me proud.  I may have to enter it into the MinnesotaFState fair Homebrew contest.
