AG #7 - Red Hopper - Recipe

Following a recent discussion with TheBeernut (see the comments section of this post) about the lack of oomph in Irish Red Ales I decided that I needed to brew what I had been looking for, so after much research I have decided that I will brew my take on Randy Moshers India Red Ale (from his excellent book, Radical Brewing). This beer should provide me with what I have been looking for, a malty red ale that has a serious hop kick.
