What a fantastic beer eh? Lemme know if you find a recipe....if I remember right it's either dry hopped with Horizon or Cascades....
 
Here is a stab at it:
83% 2-row
6.5% Wheat Malt
5% CaraRed
5% CaraMunich
.5% Black Malt
Use enough to get an OG of 1.054 on your system
Mash ~152 for 60 minutes

You might add some gypsum if your water is low on sulfate (I like ~150 PPM in my hoppy beers).

Bitter with 60 IBUs of Horizon
1 oz of each of Amarillo, Cascade, and Summit in the last 10 minutes (maybe half at 10 and half at flame-out).

Ferment with a clean-ish American ale yeast (maybe 1272?), not sure what they use.
Keep the temperature in the mid-upper 60s (actually beer temp, not ambient).

You can dry hop with additional hops if it needs it before bottling.

Not guaranteeing it'll be an exact clone, but it will be in the general area. You can always brew it, and then adjust and re-brew to get it closer.

I brewed a similar recipe a few months ago that I really enjoyed (although mine was more of an India Red Ale).

Good luck!
