I brewed this up last minute before the Superbowl just because I could. It came out awesome! It was a bit harsh at first, but after a few weeks aging its really smoothed out. A buddy of mine said that it was the best IPA he's ever tasted. His dad said that if he was going out to a restaurant and they had this beer, he would buy it.
Ok, ok, ok...
MALTS:
3 lb Amber DME
HOPS:
0.25 oz CTZ 60 min
1 oz Cascade 10 min
1 oz CTZ 10 min
1 oz Cascade 2 min
1 oz CTZ dry hop 10 days
1 oz Citra dry hop 10 days
1 oz Centennial dry hop 10 days
YEAST:
Wyeast American Ale-1056 in a small starter (harvested from a pale ale I made a little while back)
FERMENTATION:
56 degrees F the whole way, even to carb the bottles (2 oz of corn sugar to carb)
This allowed it to drop crystal clear while carbing nicely
