    Yes, but looks more like a PA than an IPA...sort of on the cusp of both...should be tasty

    Thank you for quick respond,to make it more PA should I reduce Cara-pils and Caramel and add more Vienna?
    Thanx.

    Looks like it would make a tasty beer. My only question is what are you trying to achieve with the Vienna? I think you would need more of it to even notice it's there.

    Didn't have Munich around only 1 lb of Vienna,was looking for clear taste to understand the Calypso hops (using them for the first time).

    Not a bad idea...or substitute sugar if you want a slightly drier finish and a little more alcohol ala West Coast hoppy ales. Cheers
