3-5% crystal or similar the rest pale malt then use target to bitter and loads of EKG towards the end works well for me, bitter to around 50-60 IBUs.

An IPA should finish dry so I add 10% sugar.

if you want really traditional then 100 pale to around 1060 then EKG all the way to around the 50-60 ibu. Mash at around 64 for a long time ( like 3 hours or more) then use something like nottingham to dry it all out.

If I wanted to make a distinctive English IPA then personally I would also jettison the crystal - it gets in the way of the hops and the dry finish.

Maris Otter provides plenty enough flavour, and if you want to darken it at all then just a touch of black malt.

Just my personal opinion though.
Ingredients: Water, Barley, Hops, Yeast, Seaweed, Blood, Sweat, The swim bladder of a sturgeon, My enemies tears, Scenes of mild peril, An otter's handbag and Riboflavin.
