Flaws: Diacetyl (L)

Overall a well crafted IPA. A touch light on IBUs, more-so on aroma, and flavor seem muted to what would be ideal in the style. Clean fermentation profile. Traditional American hop profile of pine, resin, lemon citrus. Check fermentation temps for diacetyl rest. I enjoyed this beer!

Overall

Flaws: Diacetyl (L)

The recipe is solid, with some interesting hop flavors. The background note of diacetyl is pretty low, but it muddles up the overall flavor profile and overshadows all of the good things about the recipe. Get rid of that diacetyl and you'll have an excellent beer.
