No stranger to brewing, but haven't tried the IIPA yet. Looking to IIPA that is very fruit hop forward, but with a slightly sweet malt backbone. Hoping American Ale II will accentuate the fruitiness from the hops even more. Thought some victory and honey malt would add complexity to the malt so that there is something more than just hop flavor.
To those who've done IIPAs before (and are good at them) - What do you think? Will I get what I want with this recipe?
