Homebrewing: Your own beers you know are great

Homebrewers, have you ever brewed a beer, and new that it was a great beer? I've brewed 13 batches so far. However, my second to last one, is far and away, the best one i've done. It is an IPA, and it was the first all-grain batch where i came up with the recipe myself. It's 50 IBU's and 6.6% ABV.

I'm usually hypercritical of all of my brews. I can always tell where it falls short, but this beer is, in my mind, one of the best IPA's i've ever had. It's not a hop bomb, but it is balanced incredibly well with the malt, and the citra puts it over the top. I did whirlpool hop my first wort hops, which were Warrior i believe.

I am down to only 14 - 12 oz. bottles, and 2 bombers left. I'll be sad when these are gone.
