To tell the truth, I had hoped for a hefty floral hit from the dry hopping with Ahtanum... but it was all a bit too cascadey as if they'd just been in the boil.
Maybe it should have been 4 times the amount of dry hops??! :)

I've not had a bottle of this one for a while, I didn't enter it into the CBA comp as I thought the freshness it had at 2 weeks bottled was great but quickly mellowed.

Its certainly got a nice bite and some good bitterness at 4 months old, maybe I'll drink this one more often :)
