I want to give my tripel more IPA character

[agurkas]

So I am making a tripel next

Briess Pilsen Extra Light LME - 8 lbs, 2 oz
Belgian Pilsner Malt - 3.5 lbs
Clear Candi Sugar - 1 lbs
Rice Syrup Solids - 1 lbs
Belgian Biscuit Malt - 3 oz
Brewers' Gold hops - 1oz @ 45 minutes
Styrian Goldings hops - 0.25oz @14 minutes

I think it will turn out really "yeasty" in flavor, just like every one of my 4 beers have come out so far.

I would like to modify the recipe. High ABV will come with the recipe. I want to add a lot more hop aroma. What would you suggest?

The thing with a tripel recipe is it take so long to age as most big beers and I think you will lose most of your hop flavor waiting on it. If are going for a english type IPA look at this one:

Enlish Pale Ale LME 8.7lbs
Wheat LME - 0.5lbs
biscuit - 8oz
cystal 40 - 8oz
cystal 120 - 6oz
Hops:
Challanger - 1.5oz 60min
Fuggles - 1.50z 10min
Kent Golding 1.5oz 0 min or dry hop
English Ale yeast
Ibu 50
alcohol 6.5%
7 Gal start boil volume

Well... I already have all the ingredients for it.
So the answer is there is no way to add more hop.

You can add more hops. There's a Tripel IPA in the recipes section (link below). You mat have to wait to add dry hops for aroma so they don't fade before bottling.

If you move the brewers gold to 60mins, then you can add the goldings at flameout or dry hop. the aroma won't be alot, but it'll be more than you got
