Anyone here know the hopping schedule, hops used, and IBU for Bear Republic's Racer 5?

I had my first taste today and it is a little cascade-ish but really grassy.
 
According to their website, they are using Cascade and Columbus. Looks like they're using the Columbus as the aroma hop and Cascade for bittering.

This is a hoppy IPA. Did I say hops? Your brewer is a hop head! This is a full bodied beer using American grains. The goal was to create a base for showing off the unique floral qualities of two Pacific Northwest hops, Columbus and Cascade. Columbus is a new hybrid High Alpha Acid hop used mostly for bittering, but used heavily as an aromatic in this strong brew. Cascade is the balance that ties the malt and bittering hops together. It is a true specialty ale and is our brewer's statement on this style.
OG: 1.070
ABV: 7.0%
IBU: 69
