FRESH SQUISHED IPA ALL-GRAIN HOMEBREW

This has now taken over as one of my favorite homebrews that I have made in my homebrew career. The aroma, color and taste are awesome.
Check out the beautiful color and head.


This is the description from Midwest Supplies (my ingredient source).

Dripping with vivid flavors, this clone recipe is the beer equivalent of visiting your local fruit stand. Flavors and aromas of grapefruit, melon, berries, lime and passion fruit drizzle into a faint herbal, piney background. Fresh Squished's sturdy malt foundation of sweet crystal malts and toasty munich concedes to this indulgent use of Citra and Mosaic hops to achieve remarkable balance. Pale copper in color, Fresh Squished is overlaid by a fluffy, rich beige foam cap, allowing the juicy aromas to ooze out of this Pacific Northwest inspired clone.

Samuel Adams finally mailed out their score sheets for the 2016 Longshot Homebrew contest. I submitted my Coffee Stout that was brewed with Starbucks coffee. It's kind of funny that one of the judges said that the coffee taste was barely noticeable. Most of the people that I gave this brew to try thought that the coffee flavor was overpowering......Go figure.
