I have been gravitating back to West Coast IPAs from NEIPAs and this one does not disappoint. I will definitely make this again and again. Although it was the first time making this, I altered the hop schedule a bit and I honestly don't know how much of a difference it made, but because the results were so good, I will do the same every time I make this recipe. I took an oz of hops from the 5 minute boil addition and used it to dry hop 5 days prior to kegging. I may trying to duplicate the recipe with different hops in the future, but for now I'll stick with the kit as is. One other note is that I used Cali dry yeast.

I'm a fan of the west coast style ipa's so after much consideration I decided to try this and see how it went. This was only my third all grain brew and it came out good. Took it to a local micro brewery for a class and everyone loved it and couldn't believe this was my first attempt at this beer. Owner said he would put it on his tap that day. To me it has more flog piney aroma and taste up front and a lighter hop on the back end. I give it 4 stars because I brewed it and don't want to toot my own horn. P.s. the longer it sits the better it gets.

Finally got to be this after winning a few beer friday. Been in tap for a bit now, fined with gelatin. It's a very clear beer with a nice crisp flavor that satisfies. I tried to drink it a little too soon, but after about a week it was great.

First time making this as all-grain. Nice malty flavor with the hops. Likely will add more hops next time.

This is a very good west coast IPA. Really enjoy it.

Very happy with how this brew came out. I used Safale US-05. A nice crisp and flavorful hop character. Each sip left me wanting to take another. Would highly recommend!

Flavorful IPA Columbus hops is excellent!!!

Not an overwhelming hop monster. A good IPA for newbies and those who don't like a super strong IPA

more like an American Pale Ale. I was expecting a hoppier flavor

Second time doing the all grain brew-great flavor at an excellent price.Will order again!

great first grain batch to try

Second time brewing on Grainfather. Dry hopped first batch with 1 oz Columbus but this time going with the recipe. Very good IPA with plenty of body and hop bitterness. Will be a regular brew.

Did BIAB - mashed at 154 for 60 mins, followed everything as it is, ended up at 1.059 OG, used US-05, fermented between 64-66F, 13 days in primary then kegged + dry hopped with 1 oz Columbus. Wow this clean, citrusy and refreshing. Just the right amount of bitterness and hops. Those that are non hopheads ended up pouring pint after pint. I can see this being the perfect summertime beer. I’m now a huge fan of the columbus hop.

This is a great IPA... The only thing I will do differently next time is a dry hop addition. Everyone that I have shared it with has been very impressed.

Nice easy ipa, simple for new home brewers doing there first all grain.

Great kit, value, and taste. Quality.

Second time brewing this recipe. Didn't make any additions or changes. Simple to brew and great results both times. An easy drinking smooth and non- overpowering IPA that was enjoyed even by my Bud drinking friends.

I recently had a neighbor ask me if there was grapefruit in the beer. I've brewed this beer several times and it is becoming a bench mark IPA for me.

10 days in primary. Fermented around 60? ambient which kept primary at like 62?. Followed hop schedule and mashed at 152? for an hour. Boiled 60 mins. Dry hopped with 1 oz nugget for 2 days. Kegged for less than a week and all ready delicious. At 2 days with some force carbing it was good, but now a few days later it's great. Used us-05 and fined keg with gelatin. Will jump to a 3 gallon keg and beer gun some to save. Good stuff

After a year of 1 gallon all grain I switched up to 2.5 gallons (got an excellent 3-gallon ported carboy from MoreBeer), this was the first recipe I tried (2 batches from 1 kit). I'm really happy about how this turned out, I used the recommended Safale yeast and didn't make any alterations, and the beer is truly excellent! Great aroma and bitterness, just how I like it. I did a taste test between this, Sam Adams IPA, Founders All Day IPA, and Two Roads Honeyspot IPA, this was actually my favorite of the four. Will definitely be brewing this as my go-to IPA going forward.

When I bought this, I was a little nervous about 1) a beer with 1.5 lbs of crystal malt and 2) an all columbus beer. I mashed at 154 and let it cool down to 148. I used a combination of US-05 and Imperial Pub yeast. I am happy to report that this kit makes an outstanding beer. Excellent full body and nice citrusy hops flavor and aroma. The beer is well balanced with moderate bitterness that is not harsh. It is not overly sweet. High marks.

This has become my go to IPA. It has a great IPA flavor and great nose on it.

I brew about 200 gallon of beer a year in different styles, but mostly concentrate on Pale Ales and IPAs. But this one is an all time favorite of mine. I did add my own twist to it though by dry hopping after 7 days with 4 oz of Willamette hops. I like it even more like that, but even with out adding the dry hops to the basic recipe, it is a very solid beer. Can't go wrong with the Columbia IPA. I highly recommend it.

This was my first brew and it turned out great. Family and friends love it and as it ages it gets even better. I would highly recommend this for a first timer and I will be making this again.

I made this a few weeks ago. I don't normally post reviews, but this batch is so tasty I just had to. Tastes really great for such a simple grain bill and hop schedule. I added 2 ounces of citra for a dry hop for 6 days. Excellent beer at a great price. Pitched safale 05 for a clean finish.

Never was much of an IPA drinker till I discovered this one. It's a perfect balance of hops and drink-ability. I keep returning to it because I always miss it when I don't have it on tap. Downside is everyone else loves it also and it seems to disappear quickly.

Yup, I've heard it said again & again, and I thought, "what the heck does that mean?" Wow!!!! This is some danky stuff!!!! I'm a believer. Get it, try it, you won't be sorry.

For such a simple recipe, this produces an amazing IPA. I added an additional 2 oz. of Columbus pellets for a 5 day dry hop which really brought this beer to another level. Will be brewing this recipe often from now on, as this is one of the best IPA's I've ever tasted.

This was my first all grain after years of doing extract brewing. All I can say is wow and why did I not make this change sooner. What a difference.This IPA tastes so good, all I want to do is drink it. Want to keep this stuff to myself and not share it with my friends. This one will be on my rotation list for sure.

I totally recommend this recipe. It's gotten even better after a few weeks on cold chill. The Columbus hop is great!!!!!!!

So far my favorite beer has been NB's Chinook IPA. I like the bite. I purchased this kit because I like trying different things. (As we all do) I brewed this with sa05. And was expecting a biting/piney ipa like chinook. With all the hop additions, I was honestly surprised to find such a smooth beer. It's as easy drinking as a pale mild.
