Caramel sweetness in IPA/APA

[kbaggen]

Hi there,
antone help on getting a good deep malty/caramel sweetness into a APA?

Thinking:
Pale malt ~ 78%
Melodin malt ~10%
Carahell ~7%
Caramalt 60L ~ 5%

Or should they be raised?
Mash: 67`C / 152´F

I brewed a really tasty US Pale Ale with 100% Amarillo hops, using 95.5% Maris Otter and 4.5% English Crystal 60L ( Crisp ). Good/solid malt presence in the background, but the sweet tangeringe+grapefruit juice dominated, which is also what i want from a hoppy beer.

To me that sounds too much, but it depends on what you're after.. And a slight mess. I'd try to roll with just the 60L at maybe 7%, and use some dark munich in the grist, maybe 10%.
