This recipe comes from Samuel Neitzke from BrewToad. It had great reviews so I decided to give it a try. Holy Hell...this beer is good.

Taste and Aroma are phenomenal. Bursts of citrus and pine resin. Elements of orange peel and fresh squeezed ruby red grapefruit juice. Nicely balanced, not bitter. In fact, Molly didn't know it was an IPA when she tasted - and she liked it! It has a sweet, honey, hoppiness that may be a little over the top for some. Not grassy or vegetal.
Check out this clip of my buddy tasting a bottle along side a Summit Pale that he brewed...this about sums it up
