I'm thinking about making an IPA using Cascade, Comet and Mosaic and this is what I've come up with.

The base beer is pretty much the Epic (a Kiwi brewery) pale ale recipe and each of the hops are used in one of their One Trick Pony single hop beers.

I've heard that Comet can be pretty dank, but when used right it gives great grapefruit flavours. I'm hoping to strike a good balance between that and a pineapple / passionfruit flavour from the Mosaic and the obligatory Cascade.

Let me know what you think.
