This is my fourth version of this IPA with minor adjustments to crystal malt and chocolate to achieve 12 SRM, plus adjustments to hops but always Amarillo and Simcoe. This has taken a second for ipa in a local competition and been well received in a local festival. Highest judge score so far is 38.

Amarillo 8.2 AAU FWH
Simcoe 6.4 AAU FWH
Amarillo 7.2 AAU 75
Simcoe 6.6 AAU 75
