My local Dans have just got this in so I brought one tonight to try.
And all I can says is OMFG. It would have to be one of the best IPAs I've ever had. The bitterness at 50 IBU is still very mellow and smooth with no sharpness. It has a floral, citrus, aroma and taste with all sorts of tropical fruit and aromas in there. I get lemon, lime, orange, pineapple, passionffruit, lychee and who knows what else.
I found a blog that says they use Cascade, Chinook, Goldings, Crystal and Ahtanum. And that they don't dry hop but use a hop back.
I found a Clone recipe on HBT here
http://www.homebrewtalk.com/f69/drowning-hops-ipa-ag-bridgeport-ipa-clone-w-first-wort-hopping-51572/
Which uses first wort hopping and a 1 minute addition.
Anyone else tried this beer or attempted a clone?
