    Hello, I'm looking for any suggestions on an IPA kit that is pretty hoppy and has a stong floral/citrus taste. Being a newbie I may be off on my terminology. I appreciate any ideas you may have.

    Austin Homebrew has a WIDE selection of IPA's. I did the Greenbelt IPA and it had the characteristics your looking for. They also have one called Hop Bomb that I will be doing soon. Looks intense. Check it out.

    My first batch was from Midwest - ferocious. Came out good with the mistakes I made, but being a west coast snob I probably would have used more hops than the kit called for. Really enjoying simcoe and Citra hops at the moment, so would add some more of those to the recipe.

    Have fun brewing - cheers!
