Excellent malt character but a little weak in IBU

I would increase the first hop addition. probably about 30% The beer tastes great and is surprisingly quaffable, but just not quite bitter enough to hit what I was aiming for. Otherwise the recipe turned out very well. Excellent color and head retention. I carbonated at 10psi.
