Does anyone have an IPA recipe that really accentuates a sweet orange flavor & aroma using only malt, hops, yeast and water?

Brewed a Amber Ale with Amarillo & Cascade.  Should be an easy drinker.  Backing off the IPA level hopping for the first time in a while.  It is always hard not to add "a few more hops" on a brew day.

I am finding I like the aroma more than the flavor.  It needs another hop like columbus, chinook, or summit in the combo I think to add some contrast to the amarillo and citra. I do think I could have bittered it more too.

Wow! I kegged this Sunday morning.  I pulled a pint when I was siphoning and even at room temperature and uncarbonated it smelled amazing.  It had sat on 3 oz of Amarillo and 1 oz of Citra for 2 weeks.  I love the aroma of this combo.

Do you control fermentation temps?  I had this problem when my carboys where getting too hot.

I could be overlooking the effect of not doing a 15 minute addition.  I guess on paper I got 20 ibu's from my 1.5 oz at 15 on my last ipa. That would put me around 70 Rager.  I was just going to simply my recipe and get some more aroma but maybe I would be sacrificing some needed bitterness.

I was happy with a similar bittering on my last ipa, though I had 1.5 oz of my flameout hops moved back to 15 last time (amarillo/columbus/simcoe).

About 48 ibu (Rager) not counting my flameout hops.  I figure they steep above 170 for around 10 minutes.
