From what I've read, it's an ale strain isolated from a famous double IPA brewed in Vermont. Produces a unique ester profile reminiscent of peaches. This strain complements an aggressive use of hops, which I don't know what classifies as aggressive as to me, Jamils Hop Hammer uses a pound, and I could still use more.

I use it as my strain for all the IPAs I make. Very highly attenuating and nice esters to compliment new world hops. Doesnt flocculate too well but I couldnt care less.

I would scale back the cara-malts. Your close to 10% which is far out of my taste range for IPAs. Most commercial breweries reccoemnd to stay under 5%, if using any at all

I also like 10-20% wheat in ym IPAs. It helps with the body (since they are usually thin to accentuate hops) and gives a nice juicy flavor to the hops
