American IRA (India Red Ale!)
This a maltyIPA with high-ish bitterness - you could stretch the IBUs to 60 if you like plenty of bitterness. You could also raise the OG to 1055 or 1060.
Columbus/Zeus is a good hop for this - but so are Simcoe, Chinook, Bravo, Apollo, Centennial, Cluster - bittering hops from the USA that will cut through the crystal malt. Admiral might work well, as an English alternative. You could also blend two or three of these hops, and perhaps chuck in some Amarillo late, if you fancy that.
