Vigilante IPA

March 1st 2011

Vigilante IPA Brewed on 2/19/2011
Brewed with left over light malts with lots of hops to make an IPA. Hoping that it will have a light yellow/green color with a mix of hoppy/bitter flavor to counter act the medium sweetness that it will have. The Starting Gravity came it at 1.061 which should yield a high ABV of at least 5.5% to 6.0%
