Experimentation is good. I speak from experience.. I wouldn’t have learned half as much as I have since I stated brewing. In the case of the 2018 Experimental IPA from Upslope Brewing Company it doesn’t feel like it worked. The body is too light for my taste. I like something with a little more backbone. The hop profile feels like it wants to be more than it could be. It’s not a horrible IPA. It’s just not for me.
