I am drinking an English IPA I bottled about 10 days ago and it has a very agreeable And pronounced flavor that reminds me of iced tea, especially after the first few sips. I don't know where the flavor comes from, my first thought was the hops but I don't see that in the profiles of any hops I used.
Here's the recipe:
5 gallons
10# Maris Otter (5 each Crisp and floor malted)
.5 # medium english crystal
.5 vienna
.1 midnight wheat
.5 rice flakes
60 minutes: .5 oz nugget, .5 n. brewer
1 oz EKG 10 minutes
1 oz EKG hopstand
1 oz EKG dry hop
Burton ipa yeast @64 degrees
The EKG were whole leaf.
thoughts?
