Looking for some feedback on the recipe below. Ideally, I imagine it will be very similar to a New Belgium Belgo (Belgian IPA). Floral, dry but with just a *touch* of honey sweetness, and a bit spicy without being too "Belgian." I mean, I like horse blanket as much as the next guy, but that's not what I'm looking for at the forefront of this beer. I'm also going with Cascade throughout to give it the signature Pacific Northwest feel that most American IPAs exhibit.
