The beer turned out really well. My goal was to copy the Bench Brewing Balls Falls Session IPA that is sold in Ontario (not sure about the rest of Canada).
The dry-hopping came through nicely. I might even increase the dry-hopping slightly next brew. It is a nice balanced beer, not overly bitter but not lacking bitterness either.
I forgot to add the dextrose in the boil so my beer ended up close to 4% instead of the 4.5% I was aiming for.
