I'm looking to make a sturdy American IPA hop bomb next . Done a couple of pales and stouts so far. Ready for a higher strength, hoppy IPA!

I already have the following hop amounts to play with..
Colombus 85g
Amarillo 95g
Cascade 95g
Centennial 90g

Happy to add a couple of additions. And the grain bill of course.

Much appreciated.
 
I think it's helpful to look at the BJCP guidelines when thinking about a new beer. Not to stick to them slavishly, but it helps with thinking about what you want
http://www.bjcp.org/docs/2015_Guidelines_Beer.pdf

2 row malt
little or no caramel malt
1.056 to 1.075 OG
1.008 to 1.015 FG
40 - 70 IBU
prominent to intense hop aroma with a citrus, floral, perfume-like, resinous, pine and/or fruity character derived from American hops

mash at low temperature, 66c?
persistent head

Suggested grains...
94% Pale Ale Malt
3% Light Crystal Malt
3% Torrified Wheat

Hops...
I'd use something like Magnum, Northern Brewer or Admiral at the beginning of the boil to get most of the IBUs then use the hops you have. 25% at 10 mins before flame out, 25% at flame out, 50% held back to dry hop.

Something like the above should work well.
