New Belgium Accumulation clone help

I love this beer but not quite sure where to start. They kinda indicate the hops they use and you know they use wheat and you have the abv and we can measure the gravity but I'm looking for some insider info on what yeast they use in this beer. I'm assuming they use a belgian wit yeast or could I be fooled and it just be plain ole american ale type?

They list all hops and yeast on the website

Maybe I should have checked there first....
But they are a little vague on the yeast calling it "ale yeast for bright fruity notes"

Let's get this beer cloned. It is my current favorite with a great mix of flavors.

I really like this beer too. I'd like to have a go at it.

Any progress yet?

Haven't been here in a while. Came to search for a clone for this beer. Anybody have any luck yet?

I'm new to this and may not use all the terminology right but I made a nice version of this brewing a partial mash:
3 lb DME
1 lb LWE
2 lb pilsner malt
1 lb Vienna
.5 lb Carapils
.5 lb honey
From my notes:
Steep the grains in 2 gal at 155 for 60 min, sparge with 1 gal at 170, add DME and honey and boil 60 minutes increase volume to 5 gal
1ozTarget 60min,
1oz Centennial15 min
1oz Centennial 0 min
Safale US-05 Dry Ale Yeast
dry hopped with 1oz Mosaic and 1oz Amarillo after 10 days in secondary

left in secondary 2 weeks

The OP and I hashed this out a few weeks ago. Its quite close. May want to cut down on the bittering hop just a bit.

Beer Profile

OG - 1.062
FG - 1.012
Actual Alcohol by Vol: 6.6 %
Bitterness: 75 IBUs
Est Color: 3.8 SRM

This was definitely a good brew. As stoutsmith said, the bittering hops should be backed off some but the flavor profile was right on otherwise. I think it's notable that we used a large pitch of yeast and started fermentation on the cool side.

Hi All, first post here. Made an account just to share this awesome clone for Accumulation I came up with a friend based on the information given at the New Belgium website, and with the help of the Beer Smith app:

2.25# Pale Ale Malt
2.00# White Malt
Steep in 2.5gal for 45-60 minutes at 155 degrees F
Sparge with 0.5 gallon water at 170 degrees F
Bring to boil
3.00# DME Golden Light (60')
1.25oz Target Hops (60')
Irish Moss (15')
1.00# DME Golden Light (10')
0.50# Brewers Crystals (10')
2.00oz Centennial Hops (10')
0.3oz Coriander (5')
2.00oz Dried Tangerine Peel (5')
2.50oz Centennial Hops (1')

OG = 1.070

Cool to 65-70, pitch Mangrove Jack's M44 (West Coast Ale Yeast)

Dry hop for 7 days after primary fermentation completes
1.50oz Amarillo
1.00oz Mosaic

FG = 1.020 (6.5% ABV)

Just tried it side-by-side with a bottle of accumulation and its SPOT ON.

Cheers

Sounds good.

Might give it a try with Brewferm Blanche yeast.
I have a pack that I bought a few years ago but never got around to using.
