I have a friend who only really likes hoppy beers and I would like to make a batch as a gift. Her favorite is Victory Prima Pils - which I simply can't replicate... hard to copy near perfection, plus I'm not equipped to make a lager, or an all-grain batch (yet - I think that is christmas...). I've actually only been brewing for a few months, but so far so good.
Within those constraints (and I realize they are big ones) I am looking for a good suggestion for a hoppy, refreshing ale to brew. I suppose I could go the IPA route, but am wondering if there's a light color, hoppy american pale ale recipe (probably with alot of late hop additions) or some other style out there to go after.
Just thought I'd throw it out there.
