This sounds good after having the Yellow Snow IPA by Rogue since it too is 100% Amarillo hops.

What can you compare it too?

That's a good question, I can't really compare it to a comercial brew. This is far from the original recipe that I had. I just kept adjusting the ingredients and hop schedule until I found what I like. I find it cleaner and crisper than SNPA, with a lot more citrus notes, almost grapefruit-like. The WLP001 finishes it pretty dry so there's not too much maltiness to it.
