Here is the recipe and it doesn't say "Citra"
Weird! What issue of BYO is this picture from?
The OP posted on Feb 16, 2013 that he was posting the recipe from "the current issue of BYO" which I took to mean the March-April 2013 issue, because in that issue they have an article on Hop Stands. In that article they have a recipe called "Over the Topper DIPA" to which they state "This is a clone of one of my favorite double IPAs, Heady Topper, from Alchemist Brewery in Vermont".
The recipe in my Mar/Apr 2013 issue of BYO is identical to the one posted by the OP in the first post of this thread, except that it also lists 1 Oz Citra as primary drop hop.
In the picture above, you'll note that there's all sorts of other differences from what the OP posted too, including:
They actually called it "Heady Topper clone" instead of "Over the Topper DIPA"
OG of 1.076 instead of 1.074 (as per my MAr/Apr 2013 issue)
FG of 1.014 instead of 1.012
15 lbs British malt instead of 13
6 oz Caravienne instead of 4 oz
1 lb turbinato sugar instead of just "sucrose"
7 AAU Magnum at 60 mins instead of none
13 AAU Simcoe at 30 min instead of 19.5
8.6 AAU Apollo at knockout instead of 17.2
7 AAU Columbus at knockout instead of none
.... many other hop changes ....
Finally a completely different yeast: WY1028 or WLP013 instead of WY1056/WLP001
