West Coast IPA

I designed this recipe for my taste. I love looks of New England IPA but they are too sweet for me and too low bittered. I like west coast IPA but this time I want a more NEIPA looks. So I have designed dry beer with wheat malt and flaked rye addition to build a bigger body and add hops to approximately 60 IBU.

This beer is very close to this what I want to get. Bittering and body like I want. Medium hop aroma so next time I am going to double dry hopping.
