Noble Hop IPA

[brwagur]

Has anyone made a single hop IPA with a European noble hop? I'm thinking about making a Hallertauer IPA but I need someone to tell me if that's a terrible idea for some reason.

Sort of...

I've made high gravity 6%+ pilsners with Magnum to bitter and Hallertau at 15 and whirlpool, and 60+ IBU total.

F'N amazing...

This was decent, for what it was:

I brewed a Pilsner using IPA levels of Saaz. Something like 12-14oz, with most of that being flameout and dry hops. I personally thought it was excellent and would brew it again in a heartbeat if I had a bunch of leftover Saaz leaf that was taking up space.

I didn't do a single hop one but I recently made a noble ipa with hallertau, saaz, and liberty (technically not a true noble hop). Took a ton of those hops but it turned out pretty well. I added 2 lbs of smoked malt in as well. Definitely not an assertive IPA, but certainly different from anything i've tried.

Recipes are at the beginning of the thread, but the premise is 12 single-hopped IPAs, including Saaz and Hallertauer. I'm planning small batches of Saaz and Hallertauer IPas in the near future.
