This will be my 4th IPA. All in all I've been quite satisfied with my IPAs, but I have always missed the amazing head that some american IPAs have. I want that creamy, thick slightly beige head! I'll be brewing this beer with a couple of friends who have never brewed before. I'm supposed to teach them some basic brewing techniques, though I'm still a novice myself. A nice IPA should bring them to the hobby.
