You've made a bloody english Haus Ale, that's all.  Call it the House of Commons Bitter.
I bet it turns out tasty! Keep us posted! |

You should be fine. It won't be exactly the same as Ed's, but it should be good. If you want some citrusy flavor/aroma, you can dryhop with .5-1oz of Cascade, Centennial, or Amarillo...

I did the same (except intentionally  ) with ahtanum hops, and it tastes great so far. Relax - you'll end up with a very different beer than Ed's recipe would have made, but it should come out just fine, especially if you like english pale ales. Doing a single-hop pale ale is a great way to experiment with different hop varieties. |

My LHBS hasn't had any cascade hops in over a month. I think I have only 1 bottle of Ed's Haus Pale left.  It was my first all grain, and it was great. Really great.  |

Do you think I should dry hop with some cascade or just leave it alone?

If you're going to dry hop, do so with the Challenger.
Keep it a single hop brew. I bet it turns out great. I love Challenger. |
