Evil Eye P.A.

My second IPA and my first partial mash. The finished beer is crisp, bitter and quite floral in the nose. Akin to a Harpoon IPA or Shipyard Fuggles, but with more body and roundness.

6oz. pale malt added at bottling. Could use more; beer is slightly under carbonated.
Tasting: Good, hoppy nose and a floral taste, with a round body and rich, caramel note. Bitter finish that some may find too much. A larger quantity of a less bitter hop may give a smoother bite at the end. Also, a little more carbonation could improve the finishing taste.
