Thought this one was drinking better early on. Has that same odor / taste that has plagued several of the previous IPAs. Again, it's drinkable, but not what I wanted. Have continued reading and wondering if it's oxidation. Granted I don't purge the secondary with CO2 but I siphon "quietely" and try to get as little as possible in.
Side note: Drank one of the Galaxy IPAs last night, which didn't have it as much. Now I'm really curious to try the new one with the bottled water to see if that takes care of it...
