Tried from a can ...not very hoppy...I'm not a fan of black IPAs but thought I'd try this anyway. A bit of roasted malt, licorice notes, but just not my thing. Anyone know what yeast they use in this brew, as I found none of those fruity esters I associate with traditional IPAs.

fruity esters and IPAs?
Chico's the most commonly used IPA yeast and it is used because it's clean and ester free.
