Fermented at 65 degs for 14 days; racked to keg and dry hopped for 1 week at 72 degs.

A wonderful IIPA. Huge Mango/Citrus nose with hints of pine and dankness. Nice malt backbone which hides the 9% ABV well. With over 1 lb of hops, it is not a cheap beer, but it is very tasty. Will try this one again in the fall.
