Im not one to pat myself on the back but this is one spot-on clone of Konas Fire Rock Pale Ale.
As APAs go, its still malty enough to really stand out as a very flavorful beer without overdoing the bitterness. I substituted Centennial for the Galena and dry hopped this batch with 1/2 Oz of Centennial for 7 days. That really gave it a nice Whoosh I was looking for.
This is maltier and more robust in flavor than SNPA in my opinion. If you love the hop flavor / aroma without the high bitterness, this is perfect.
Anyway, whether you like or dont like Kona Pale Ale, this clone will get you dangerously close.
