I developed this one based on a citrus wheat I played with and had good luck. It has a light citrus flavor that is great for the summer time or a brisk morning. You can experiment with other citrus aroma hops to get the taste you like. I tried Citra and it works good too.

Notes:

I've brewed probably 6 IPAs and this one is my favorite. It has a real citrus flavor and smoothness to it with just enough hops to get your attention. The sad thing is I drank it all up before I ever realized I needed to brew more. But I plan to remedy that next weekend.
