Hump's Atlanta Pale Ale

I was trying to make a British Pale Ale, but more aggressively hopped than typical. This was acheived w/ low-boil and dry hops giving it the low IBU score but *BIG* hop flavor.

Brewer: Joshua Humphries Email: jhumphries@newenergyassoc.com
Beer: Hump's Atlanta Pale Ale Style: English Pale Ale
Type: Extract w/grain Size: 5 gallons
Color:
12 HCU (~8 SRM)
Bitterness: 25 IBU
OG: 1.052 FG: 1.016
Alcohol: 4.7% v/v (3.7% w/w)
Water: Publix-brand drinking water
Grain: 4 oz. American crystal 20L
Steep: Steep grains after kettle goes to burner and remove grains before water reaches boiling (~200°)
Boil: 60 minutes SG 1.131 2 gallons
7 lb. Light malt extract
Hops: 2 oz. Fuggles (4.75% AA, 60 min.)
1.5 oz. Cascade (6% AA, 22 min.)
Yeast: White Labs Liquid Yeast - British Ale Yeast
Log: After 1 week - re-racked (SG 1.018) - dry-hopped w/ 1/2 oz. Cascade
Another week - bottled (SG 1.016)
Carbonation: Standard bottle conditioning (1/2 cup priming sugar boiled in almost 1 pint of water, cooled)
Tasting: After bottling, before letting the beer mature, it tasted like Cascade tea! The bitterness and maltiness are both very mild compared to the hop flavor. After it aged a bit, it toned down, finishing pretty close to style (but still a formidable hop aroma)
