Torpedo + Arrogant Clone Recipe

I am thinking of a blending of two beers I like, but find lacking. I like the darkness and lack of over bittering of Arrogant Bastard, but prefer the hop flavor from Torpedo. Does this sound like it would work?

Amount Item Type % or IBU
12.00 lb Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 85.71 %
1.00 lb Cara-Pils/Dextrine (2.0 SRM) Grain 7.14 %
1.00 lb Caramel/Crystal Malt -120L (120.0 SRM) Grain 7.14 %

2.00 oz Magnum [14.00 %] (60 min) Hops 75.5 IBU
1.00 oz Crystal [3.50 %] (30 min) Hops 8.1 IBU
1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] (10 min) Hops 13.0 IBU

1 Pkgs California Ale (White Labs #WLP001) Yeast-Ale

1.00 oz Citra [12.00 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -
1.00 oz Crystal [3.50 %] (Dry Hop 3 days) Hops -

that actually looks really good - hopefully that 120 will sort of balance the high IBU you got going, especially since your OG doesnt look too high (unless you have amazing efficiency) ....i can't wait to get my hands on citra...

You might try replacing some of the IBUs ur getting from the 60 min magnum, with more citra hops on the back end. That way you'll get that citra flavor more.

Maybe this... it should give slightly less IBUs and replace some of the straight bittering which gets to me after a while with some more citrus notes.

Maybe some citra at 5 or flameout. Get that aroma in there.

I would consider moving the Crystal hops closer to the end of the boil. It's a pretty delicate flavor/aroma to begin with, and a lot of it will be boiled away at 30 minutes. Otherwise looks yummy.
