Hey Guys,
We're brewing a double IPA this weekend that we've been mulling over for a few weeks now. Being from Minnesota, we drink a lot of Surly Furious (not a double, but a great IPA) and we love the citrusy notes. However, we also love Bell's Hopslam, with it's smooth honey finish and complex hop schedule. We wanted the color somewhere between Furious and Hopslam, but the IBU's around the Hopslam region. We tried to get the ABV higher to match the Double IPA standard, but not as high as Hopslam's 10%.
So, we created a recipe that mixes the Furious hops with some of the Hopslam malts... here goes nothin'.

Ingredients

79% 9.5 Lbs. Briess DME Gold
8% 1.5 Lbs. Clover Honey (late addition)

Cheers!
