Too hoppy for style

I got this to they were on drugs!! They were think of English Browns Not US Browns!!

So as you can see I can't actually take credit for the above recipes, but at least proves they should do the trick.

[Dale Cooper]

Amen got a Silver 41/50 - Judges thought it a little too sweet needed more hop, i'd tend to agree.

[denimglen]

Good on ya, entered as IPA?

[Dale Cooper]

Oh yeah forgot to mention style! American IPA.
I didn't do very well picking styles for my beers actually, something I need to work on. Had 3 where the judges recomended different styles.

Come on? No one else keen to share?
