Evergreen Pale Ale

On my quest to find the perfect Pale Ale I am going to start with an all Cascade Hopped beer.  The recipe is a lot like Sierra Nevada's Pale Ale recipe (but not a clone).  In my past attempt of getting the perfect pale ale I think I undershot the recipes and made more of a lame blond type of beer.  This time I am going to make something more suited to my pallet.  I'm planning on brewing this Sunday Morning.
