Nothing fancy, just a basic APA loaded with Mosaic hops. Just a heads up that there were multiple small disasters along the way when brewing this sucker. Blew off the air lock a few times, pretty sure I forgot some of the grains, etc. That's what I get or choosing Friday the 13th for my day. Hopefully it still turned out OK.

This beer turned out amazing. I'm sure I could sit here and find something wrong with it, but it's so good I don't want to.
Great carbonation, nice and clear, amazing hop aroma and flavours.
Fantastic job! Thank you so much!

This is a textbook example of why dry hopping is worth it. Appropriately named - a massive, fantastic aroma, and the flavour of the beer is a great showcase for the hop as well. A friend is giving me a bunch of Citra - I might have to steal this recipe to make a massively Citra APA...
I drank this one a little too fast it was so good - wish I had a dozen more.

Absolutely excellent beer. Just enough malt and a shit ton of hops. Mosaic blueberry character even creeps in a little. Thanks for the share!!

I surrendered this to my wife and she drank the whole thing! The sample I got went down nicely enough

That was a lot of hops! I too got that blueberry flavour from the mosaic, which I've read about but never tasted. I found the bitterness a bit low, but maybe that's because it otherwise tasted like an IPA to me rather than an APA. It was great though, I could've drank a lot more of it!

Damn good beer, I had my nose in the glass for most of this, man it smells good.
I was tasting something and the others pointed it out - so crazy that hops can give off a blueberry flavour!
I do second the IPA vs APA comment - it seemed bang on for a west coast IPA in terms of bitterness.
Thanks for sharing!
