I know this isnt truly a IPA by the BJCP guidelines, but this is where it best fit!

I did a single sparge on this batch since I didnt want a high og beer. I wanted something that would be ready quick with low ABW for those hot summer days.

A few notes:
I left no hop trub in the BK, I use a immersion chiller and had great cold break, but it still all went into the fermenter.
I originially added the Nugget dry hop because I had a little more headspace than I planned, however it seemed to really amplify the fruitiness of the Amarillo.
I fermented a little warm intentionally to get some of the fruity esthers to come foreword from the yeast blend.
I used a pack of us-05 and a pack of nottingham, even though this was excessive I wanted a rapid fermentation and couldnt pick, so I just used both!

I couldnt be happier with the way it turned out, easy recipe without a complicated ingredients list. The only thing I would change is to prime with corn sugar, I expected this to be carbed up in 2 weeks, it took 3 and a half to carb up, but its awesome fresh!
