A fellow homebrewer and I decided to brew a recipe that might approximate (even if only in spirit) the original IPAs from Burton-upon-Trent.
Nice balance, not overly hoppy. Chocolate rye gives some nice hints of roasted grains and coffee with a slight rye bite.
Riding the line between Imperial and standard American IPA, late hopping delivers an enamel-degrading fistful of citrus and floral goodness.
A very hoppy IPA that retains a nice malt flavor and plenty of aroma from the Citra hops.
