Hommel Bier recipe wanted

I had this beer last night, and I really want to make it. I thought it was very clean, almost like a pils, but I think it's a strong ale. Does anyone have a recipe?

I was going to try to culture some yeast from a bottle of it if I can find it.

Is this what you mean?



I've never heard of it/seen it but it gets a good rating on BA http://beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/634/1692

Says its a Belgian IPA.....maybe focus your search in that direction?

Yep, that's it. I did some more research on it, but came up very short. I am going to give it a whirl with brewers gold and halleratuer hops. For a yeast, I'll either try a strong ale strain or possibly even a kolsch.

Wouldn't you need a Belgian yeast since it's a Belgian IPA?

Hook us up w/a recipe when you figure it out!

Here's what I came up with, though I have to be honest, I'm not sure it will be close

looks like a good recipe, but possibly a little strong on the aromatic.

go with the belgian yeast, the kolsch doesn't make sense.

Anyone ever figure out a clone of this?
