Sunfire Ale is a good name.
I love a sweet hoppy beer, as a former soda drinker I guess that's a sugar craving issue lolSo....
Hawkbox IPA v2 racked onto the Notty yeast cake from the English Pale.
One nice thing is that the Notty goes about it's work surprisingly quick.
It has finished sweeter than you would like for a Westie, but it is still a really nice beer.

From your description maybe East Coast IPA other than the color? I consider the ECIPA more of a British IPASo....

I haven't even heard of an ECIPA, what would be a commercial example of that?From your description maybe East Coast IPA other than the color? I consider the ECIPA more of a British IPA
I haven't brewed one in awhile but when IDid it was usually US-04 or repitched ESB yeast
Of course I'm not talking about NEIPA that's a different animal
Harpoon comes to mind as a good exampleI haven't even heard of an ECIPA, what would be a commercial example of that?
Sweet isn't really the greatest descriptor, more of a toffee kind of finish to it, could use a little more bitterness to back that up. But reviews from my beer snob buddies are all thumbs up.
Harpoon was the first I thought of also. Sam Adams Rebel IPA from 10ish years ago tooHarpoon comes to mind as a good example
Basically an English IPA using American hops
So English IPA begot East Coast IPA begot West Coast begot NEIPA etc.
Yes indeed. But mine isn’t as good as theirs: they’ve made that recipe a few more times than I have.Would this be similar to your Heffe @Donoroto ?View attachment 35275
back in the day I tried using the yeast from a couple bottles of Erdinger built upYes indeed. But mine isn’t as good as theirs: they’ve made that recipe a few more times than I have.
It does lose a little something in the can.
