I am going for an American IPA style using a partial mash. My goal is to create a medium bodied beer for the style and very light in color with good head retention. I want a crisp clean hop finish and floral & spicy aroma. I want my bitterness to be mid-range for the style. I hit my targets in Beer Smith, but I am interested in some feedback, particularly with my choice of hops and addition schedule. Thanks!
