Beer came out nice and smooth with just the right amount of hop bitterness for me. Real hop heads might want to up the hop additions and consider dry-hopping.
Just tried my attempt at this yesterday as I put it in the keg and I like it. Now I just have to fight the urge to drink it all right away and actually let it age a bit.
(only thing I changed was used Cal Ale yeast instead and went a bit longer on primary and secondary because I'm too lazy to transfer things sometimes)

Just got back from entering this in my local club IPA competition and everyone liked the beer although the judges were split on hop level. I'm with TheJadedDog on this, good hop level for me but hopheads will want to add more hops.

Was your beer one of the first to be judged or did it go later? It could be that some of the judges got "hopped out". If your judges were split, this would be a good explanation. For competition AHA, IPA, DIPA, I hop at the top end of the scale in case I have to overcome judge's palate fatigue.

It was fifth, so thats possible. In my case I was making it for me and just matched up with the competition so I entered it. In the future I'll probably bump up the hops like you do for that reason.

I brewed a batch of this last night. You can read more about it on my blog at TheBrewBlog.com. I used 5 oz. of Amarillo hops instead of the 4 used by TheJadedDog, and I'll be posting the results on my blog when it's ready.
