ELF Gardens Belgian IPA

With the summers hot temperatures and the hops in the garden looking ready, I figured a Belgian IPA would be appropriate for my next batch.

I went into Keystone Homebrew with a Centennial-heavy recipe, but they were out. So after a good 20 minutes of smelling about a dozen hops I settled on a mix of Simcoe, Sorachi Ace, and Sterling simply because they smelled awesome.
