Bear Republic Brewing Company: Hop Rod Rye clone

This high-gravity IPA is brewed with 18% rye malt and has a floral hop aroma and caramel notes.

I came up with this recipe with my brewing buddy Keith Bartlett to answer a long-standing question we’d both been wondering: How close to a New England IPA could you get using only British hops? It turns out, pretty close. This beer has all the juicy, tropical fruit flavors you’d expect, complemented by a subtle spicy note just to remind you where the hops are from.
