So my friend is obsessed with Hoppy Beers. Says nothing on the market can get it done with him so he's commissioning a batch of homebrew to get the job done. He said initially that he wants to make the "bitter beer face" from those old Keystone Light commercials. And recently he's been saying "hoppiest ever", "violently hoppy" etc. I initially thought about just putting in 10oz of Warrior hops at 60 minutes and laughing while he tries to drink 5 gallons of that beer, but then I decided it's a nice challenge to make a beer like that taste drinkable, while still so agressively hoppy. Here's my recipe so far, primarily I'm concerned about the hops choice, quantities, and whether or not 4lbs of vienna is way too much for a beer like this (hoping to balance the IBU's with some malt, but is that too much?)
Looking for any and all feedback, from yeast, to grain bill, to hops etc. Don't be shy!
