Comments
I calculated 64 IBUs. This beer had a nice color and was smooth and bitter. It was slightly more fruity than I thought it would be. This may be due to a slightly higher fermentation temperature (about 72 F). This is a tasty brew overall, and is easy to drink in the summer months. I plan to make it again.

I come from the land where the oceans freeze,

Spent three long months on the open seas

I guess next to drinking your own recipe, the best part is naming it. Well done :-)

how exactly would this recipe be considered a partial mash?

It's not a partial. I've been meaning to fix it but keep forgetting.

You could probably steep about a pound of Cyrstal 20 for a "fresher" flavor. That's what I'd do.

I make a very similar brew using Centennial and Cascade for hops. I too had a slightly high ferment temp because I lived in an apt. Your taste description sounds exactly like mine. The citrusy hops seem to hide the fruity esters nicely. A very good and simple ale recipe. Good results in a short time for the beginner! You can add a little dextrose for an extra "punch" without affecting the flavor of this brew. One of my favorites!

Since I'm always looking for a good IPA, this recipe appealed. It produced a clean, refreshing, somewhat bitter beer that went down nicely. The only negative was that it died quickly on the taste buds. I found it on the dry side.
