I made a modified version of this recipe recently http://www.craftedpours.com/homebrew-recipe/stone-go-to-ipa-session-ipa-clone-homebrew-recipe, changed hops due to my supply.

6 lbs of Pale Liquid Extract
1 lbs of Light Dry Extract
4 oz of Turbinado Sugar *added mostly to hit gravity of 1.046
8.0 oz of Caramel 20L
8.0 oz of Cara-Pils
*Steep grains in a muslin bag in 1 gallon of 158F water for 30 minutes then drain
*This is for a 6 gallon batch size as I lose nearly 1 gallon in the bottom of my 8 gallon kettle with spigot
* Re-hydrated one packet of fresh US-05 dry yeast, hit the wort with one minute of 02 at 66F
* Fermented via temp controlled mini fridge ~65F for 7 days, during 5 days of dry hop moved to room temp ~72F

Finished at 1.010 ~4.6%

0.5 oz Magnum [12.00 %] - Boil 60.0 min
1.0 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Boil 10.0 min

1.0 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min

1.0 oz Mosiac [11.00 %] - Boil 5.0 min

2.0 oz Cascade [5.50 %] - Boil 5.0 min

1.0 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Aroma Steep 0.0 min
1.0 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] Aroma Steep 0.0 min
1.0 oz Mosiac [11.00 %] - Aroma Steep 0.0 min
1.0 oz Citra [12.00 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days
1.0 oz Galaxy [14.00 %] - Dry Hop 5.0 Days
* My 0 min additions, I chill to 165ish and drop them into the kettle put the lid back on and do a hop stand for 10 minutes before continuing the chilling

It came out great! Serious aroma, bottled a few growlers, opening them you can smell the passion fruit citrus from a foot away! Just did a re brew. The aging instructions I do not agree with, I dry hopped in primary at day 7 (small krausen left) then left for another 5 days, then day 12 racked to keg to crash/carb. I have been having oxidation issues hopping in the keg, switched back to dry hopping in primary and using buckets with spigots (no racking canes!), it has made a huge improvement in my hoppy beers.
 
I would say there has to be simcoe in there somewhere towards the end or dry hop, but I've also heard galaxy is similar to simcoe so maybe not.

I think the webpage listed El Dorado, crystal, and sterling hops also. Mitch says Magnum is FWH just enough to keep foam down and rest are hopurtsted technique.

I did brew an all grain version of the recipe and it wasn't even close.

Double the bittering hop, and reduce the late hop additions.

The recommendations heRe end up as a fruity, cloudy pale ale. Not a horrible beer but nothing like go to.
