It's a pretty solid brew, man. Definitely give it a try. Make sure to get the carafa II special (dehusked). It'll give you the color and a touch of roasty flavor, but won't make it taste like a dark beer. Also, the next time I brew this, I'm gonna use 1272 American Ale II, cuz I think that strain helps the hops shine in IPA's.
