I'd dry-hop with Simcoe. Chinook can get a little too piney, IMHO.

Hop bill seems a little light, and just 2 oz in the boil and another 1 oz dry (this was a problem I had for many batches of IPA... was it water, mash pH? No, just add more hops!).

Take a look at a couple clone recipes, they all clock in with more:

• Racer 5
• Lagunitas
• Pliny (...well, OK, this one's a bit on the ludicrous side)

Piney is exactly what I'm after. So - Chinook it is!
