Another IPA riff. Pretty “traditional” hopping with Summit, Chinook, Cascade, Simcoe and Amarillo. Very clean almost all base malt grain bill that I’ve been using for awhile now with just a tab of sugar to dry it out and some cara-pils for a bit of mouth feel. First wort hopping is key, I feel, to achieve a nice smooth bitterness.
