That sounds awesome! Up there with Ruination or Hopslam I would guess. Good luck, let us know how it turns out.

You should try and move the majority of those to late additions if you want "Hop Brutality". You're going to reach the IBU solubility limit early, especially at that low of ABV. Might as well move them up and retain more flavor and aroma.
