Looking for an IPA recipe with some "dank"

[Philip_T]

Just sampled this ^^ over the weekend at 1 week in the bottle and I think I found a name for it. Enamel Stripper. Holy F'ing Cow this is a danky beer. I ended up dry hopping the extra Citra and Summit and the aroma can be smelled by the neighbors. Still pretty green and needs to mellow a bit, but it is an ass kicker so far. And the estimated ABV has to be way low, one bomber of this and I almost needed to take a knee.

If I had to go dank, I would go with columbus and summit with maybe a little simcoe thrown in

I've got an IIPA that I'm about to dryhop with that exact combination . 3oz each hop between the boil and dry hop for 5 gallons

I was also really hunting for a nice dank flavor because I've been doing a lot of citrusy, bright IPAs lately. I love 'em, but it's time for a bit of a mix-up. I'm calling it the "Dirty Double IPA."

I've always thought hallertau smelled like dank.

I would go nugget. I accidently subbed nugget for centennial in a recent APA dryhop. Boy was that pleasant danky surprise.

Have you tried Oskar Blues G'Knight (previously Gordon Ale)? This beer has a nice resiny hop nose and character. As you mentioned this achieved with Columbus hops. There is a big charge of Columbus with 10 minutes left in the boil. There is an excellent podcast with recipe at http:// thebrewingnetwork.com/shows/535. Give it a listen, you won't be disappointed.

I put in votes for Chinook and Nugget as well.
I've made a couple of Chinook-heavy beers that have a nice dirty, hoppy flavour and aroma.
I've never actually used Nugget, but the Green Flash Imperial IPA uses lots, and it's beautifully dank and hoppy.

Fuggles do give a lovely earthy flavour and aroma too, though I reckon they're not quite what you'd be after for an American IPA.

not trying to derail, but I found this thread very ineteresting. i'm looking to make an IPA, and these are the hops I have:
citra
centennial
willamette
northern brewer
saaz
hallertauer
ekg

any suggestions on an interesting combination?? doesn't have to be dank, just good and hoppy

Alright, just got a pound of Chinook and Columbus to add to my hop stores. Lets' get danky!
