Calypso Single-Hop IPA

This is the recipe kit that I have in secondary as of right now that I ordered from Midwest Supplies. I love the description that they provide and hope that I can get the same flavor and aroma profiles from my batch as they are describing.

"Unlike any other IPA that has come before it, new-age Calypso hops offer brilliant flavor and aroma from lemons, cherry blossoms, black pepper, bitter orange and mint to hints of tropical fruit and sappy, pronounced pear. Versatile, evolving hop character and markedly smooth bittering make for a complex IPA balanced by clean, slightly sweet and bready malt. Capturing fantastic reviews from IPA lovers and light-beer-drinkers alike, Calypso is a flavor odyssey with a serene, unforgettable finish."

Jelly Belly-Draft Beer Jelly Beans

As a beer lover I was excited to give this Jelly Belly jelly bean flavor a shot. Unfortunately, they are a super size dissapointment. They taste like skunky beer, granted some beer is skunky and that is a bad thing, but why would we want to be reminder of that in a jelly bean??

Back to the drawing board Jelly Belly creators.
