Which APA??

[smthgfshy]

I can't decide on an early summer beer!!!! I know I want to brew a session-ish American Pale Ale. I'm going beer crazy!! There's so much to brew and so little time!! Here are my finalists, none of which I've tried. Which one?? Others I've not considered?? I like west coast hops, minimal bitterness, hazy, very balanced, hop forward and aromatic!!

Terrapin Rye Pale
Firestone Walker 31
Half Acre Daisy Cutter

background.....I'm new to homebrewing and I'm a mini-mash brewer as I'm currently constrained by my place, temps, and equipment. This beer will complement an Amarillo Saison and a Hefe.

I can't speak for the others, but I have BYOs Terrapin Rye Pale Ale clone in bottles and it is a very nice beer.

have you considered something like Mike McDole's (Tasty's) APA? http://beerdujour.com/Recipes/Tasty APA.html

this makes a GREAT APA

i made a few modifications to the recipe (no mash hop, upped the IBU in the 60 min addition instead and shot for a slightly lower starting gravity to make it more sessionable).
