I have been making single hop variety beers for about 2 years now and i have kind of lost touch with making a good punch in the face IPA with multiple hops. So what do you think.......
 
IMO, that's a whole lot of IBUs from early in the boil and I would put more into the last 20 min or so than at the start of the boil.

Do you want punch in the face bitter or punch in the face hop? I go for a hop kick in the junk, personally.
