I don't know if it is close to JZ's or not (don't have my book yet) but it looks like a fine EIPA to me.
Did you mean to have goldings at 45 and challenger at 30? Either will work, but typically the goldings are used later and the challenger earlier in the boil.
1028 should work nicely for this. It's probably my favorite english yeast. Flocs out pretty well, but not so fast that it has trouble finishing (like 005 sometimes does), is good for repitching (unlike 1098) and has a pleasantly restrained but recognizable English ester profile.
What's on tap: Cream Ale, Imperial Blonde
Secondary: British Amber,
Primary: APA
