Quote from: HoosierBrew on December 02, 2016, 10:07:29 am Getting good hop character is easy, getting enough malt base in a 1.040-ish beer to carry 50 IBU and late/dry hops damn near impossible IMO. Not anymore Someone could add 12% carahell or carared, and when the wort is not oxidized the caramlats don't taste cloyingly sweet, and serve as malt backbone. Homo this goes for you as well. My pale ale is 12% carared, and 50% pilsner, 50% pale ale malt. It has malt flavor for days...

I forgot about this one. Best "Session IPA" I've ever brewed:http://barclayperkins.blogspot.com/2016/02/lets-brew-wednesday-1957-whitbread-ipa.html

What makes it so special, the recipe being stupidly simple and all that...?

What makes it so special, the recipe being stupidly simple and all that...?The simple recipe is what makes it stand out. Maybe its because there's a reasonable amount of hops that doesn't drown out what little malt there is, coupled with a flavorful yeast that doesn't ferment bone dry. In other words, it's a balanced beer that is pretty much the antithesis of a modern American attempt at a Session IPA.
The pale malt would not be mo?
