I love huge hoppy IPAs with floral fruit and resinous pine notes. My idea with this recipe was to combine the fruity floral aspects of Hoppicratic Oath (a variation of Sculpin) with some resinous pine characteristics of Pliny The Younger. Here's what I came up with and would love any opinions on what you think would balance it out. I'm also very new to home brewing.
