I have to give a big thanks to Dude for this recipe. I brewed this up and it was a big hit at our homebrew meeting yesterday. I had it on tap for our motorcycle club picnic yesterday also, and it didn't even last the day. I did play with the hops a little and used Centennial, Amarillo, Simco, and Summit. Beersmith had it at 39 IBUs on the Rager scale. It seemed very balanced with a huge hop flavor and aroma. Mine dried out a little more also, it went down to 1.008 from 1.055. This was my wifes favorite beer so far and will become a regular at our house.

Hey Dude
Check this out. I just won first place at the LA County Fair in the APA category with Lakewalk! Dig it.

I just had the pleasure of being gifted a growler of Ballast Point Sculpin. I was thinking this has some similarity to my beloved Lakewalk and thought I would share this with the group. It's an IPA, but ever so smooth drinking with the unmistakable Amarillo/Simcoe combination. Not sure what else is there (probably Colombus, Centennial), but if you get a chance, you should try it. It has an unbelievably extravagant aroma. I heard rumor a Homebrewer brewed this for them.
