.....OK, obviously an IPA needs to have some bite, but the one's I like the most, such as DFH 60 and New Glarus Hop Hearty IPA, are relatively balanced in the bitterness department (that aftertaste that hangs in the back of your throat), but over the top in hop flavor and aroma.....
....It I was going to craft an IPA to meed these criteria, what type of hops would work well this way? and what might the hop schedule look like?
(Note: I would like suggestions beyond the awesome Cascade, because I am already drinking a delicious APA centered on cascade hops and I want to branch out...what I want to do is step it up a notch and find some more complexity beyond the citrus) thanks hopheads.
