I've been really intrigued lately by the idea of "hop bursting". In a nutshell, you skip your early bittering additions and add a huge hop addition toward the end. I sort of did this with The Captain's Nephew IPA where I just did a bittering addition and a ton of late hops. Here I went all the way with ONLY a big 15 minute addition.
Malt Bill:
11lb (92%) Rahr 2-row
1lb (8%) Crystal 40L
Hop Bill
1oz Simcoe (13% AA) @ 15min
1oz Amarillo (8.5% AA) @ 15 min
1oz Citra (12% AA) @ 15 min
1oz Centennial (10% AA) @ 15 min
Yeast: Safale US-05
OG: 1.064
FG: 1.015
SRM: 8
IBU: 70
ABV: 6.4%
I'm really anxious to see how this bad boy turns out!
