I don't have enough imagination to guess whether they would mesh. I love me some Maris Otter malt and I love me some Simcoe, Cascade, etc. Has anybody tried using Maris Otter as a base malt but used good citrusy American hops? Just wondering if it would work.
Maris Otter + American Hops...tried it?

Sure it'll work. A lot of American craft breweries use MO w/American hops. Go for it.

I believe you can substitute Maris Otter using 95% 2-row and 5% crystal 10. So there isn't that much difference, especially if you are using crystal/caramel in addition to Maris Otter. That being said, I think Brew Dog Punk IPA is 100% Maris Otter + American hops.

I have an IPA that was made with Maris Otter and Amarillo Hops... it's been in the bottle about a week, but the sampling I had on bottling day made me believe this is going to be one of my best batches yet.

Saranac makes an unbelievable pale ale, called pale pale ale, with MO and Centennial.
EdWort's Haus Pale Ale and IPA are absolutely delicious when made with Marris Otter.
I've made an Ordinary Bitter with Marris Otter and my homegrown fresh Cascade...phenominal!!!

I just used MO for the first time yesterday, with cascade and columbus. Along with some victory and munich malt. An experiment for sure so hopefully it turns out well.
Maris Otter goes great with some munich. My pale ale recipe is MO, munich and whatever American hop I have on hand at the time. I rarely use 2-Row anymore because I get my MO in a bulk grain buy so cheap.

I'm brewing exactly that tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to tasting it!

I've been thinking a lot lately of brewing my house IPA with MO instead of 2 row. I think it would be great with the 1332 yeast and the Magnum, Cascade, Centennial and Citra.
You bet! Count ME as a fan. I use MO quite a bit, and the same with American hops (among others).
