Does anyone have any experience with Glacier hops? For Homebrew Day a local brewpub is supplying their IPA wort for free, you just add the hops. I figured this would be a good time to try out some Glacier hops that I was given. Does anyone see a problem with the following recipe? I was told the brewpub will supply enough wort for a 5 gallon batch, so I've based the hop schedule on a preboil guesstimation of 8 gallons @ 1.054. I will try to adjust my additions to the actual wort I receive. 

Any criticisms? suggestions?

I've used Glacier exactly once.  They didn't just wow me, but I seem to recall that they were nice. 

I'd probably go with a little bigger dry hop, myself, even if that meant pulling some of the late hops out... but I'm really getting into aroma these days.  Really, the recipe looks plenty solid to me.

Do you remember what the Glacier hops tasted like? I’ve read
everything from Mint/Earthy to Fruit/Peach. I may change to Conan yeast to try
to accentuate the fruit flavors (if present).

I got some earthy/spicy, with a little mintiness.  Not really fruity, to me.
