I walked into my LHBS a few days back while the owner was portioning some Flaconer's Flight hops and they smelled absolutely AMAZING. I decided then that I wanted to make an all Falconer's Flight IPA. But rather than taking an existing IPA recipe and adapting it for the hops, I would like to try my hand at making a recipe from scratch.
I want to make an AIPA that has a strong hops presence, and moderate bitterness. After consulting Designing Great Beer and browsing the recipe section here I came up with the following:
