Thanks to 2 Noble Dogs Brewing for their online recipe.

an update:  After a year in the bottle, the beer has mellowed and is much more drinkable.  I thought that originally it was too hoppy.  I would change the recipe to drop the simcoe and amarillo to some more flowery hops for the dry hop.  if i try it, i will update recipe.
