Nice recipe!  I love the hop bursting at the end!  Let us know how it turns out.

Supposedly Kelsey McNair of QUAFF won the Stone Pro-Am with a West Coast Bitter.  I can't find the recipe online, but the description of the beer sounds like what you are looking for Skyler?

Me and my buddy have been making hoppy, low gravity beers like this for the last 5 or 6 years. 
We call them American Bitters.

<snip>my buddy has specialized in making pale and dry 4-4.5% IPAs, which are also delicious.

I am really intrigued.  Any chance you could post some examples of this type of recipe? 

Yum, the American Bitter.
Thanks to your research.  Cheers!

There are a few IPAs made here in Utah that due to laws to be able to be sold in regular markets are 4% ABV. There are  probably 1.040 and 40 IBU. Some seem too watery. None stand up well to the real thing.

That said I like the idea of a hopped up low ABV malty amber. I'm going to brew one today.
