Dare I brew it?
!!!EDIT - added bitter to the title because I couldn't work out the category
so that's not my area of expertise. If you dropped the 40g of Cascade in after the boil, and used a flavorless yeast, you'd have something close to Sierra Nevada Pale ale, I bet. But the nice bit of Fugs at the end of boil and the s-04 put you into tasty bitter territory as far as I can guess. Good luck with it! Looks delicious.
