Nuclear Testing IPA
I originally brewed this on 6/2/98, just after India did its
nuclear tests (I was planning it BEFORE they did the tests :-),
hence the name...

| Tasting: | Nice head retention. I might want to dry hop a little more? (I loved the aroma, but might have wanted a little more) I would have used fining agents (eg. polycar) - beer wasn't too clear, esp. after dry-hopping. |
