Homebrew #1 - tasting


Last night I cracked open the first bottle of my first homebrew experiment - an IPA.  It was surprisingly not horrible.  In fact, it was rather tasty.  There wasn't much head, but I don't know if that was a result of my careful pour, or more likely I didn't cap the bottle very well (see image at right).  Still, it was well carbonated, and shockingly free from sediment.  

A caveat to the tasting, however, as I had 3 or 4 other beers already in me at the time, and my judgment may have been clouded by my initial shock of it not tasting brutally awful.  A second tasting is in order for tonight to confirm.
