Hey guys. I had The Calling by Boulevard Brewing for the first time at Avery's Strong Ale Fest and it was great. Naturally, I want to try something close to it.
Here's their take on it:

It says "A simple malt base composed solely of our two row base malt serves as a platform for giant, punchy hop flavor and aroma provided by a blend of Simcoe, Bravo, Topaz, Cascade, Mosaic, Equinox, Galaxy, and Amarillo hops."
I figure that I don't have to have all the hops (the first link says there are 8), but I think I can get it 90% of the way their without having to get Topaz hops, etc. I really just want to nail a tropical, crisp IIPA.
Here's my take so far:

I copied my grain bill from Avery's Dugana, since I like that bill and it's simple. How are the hop ratios looking?
