New Belgium 2-Below is my favorite winter beer and I'm looking to clone it. I tried last year and came out with a heavier-bodied version of fat-tire... close but no cigar.
Here's what I know about it: it's a bit lighter in color than fat tire, brighter hop character than fat tire, similar biscuit-malt taste, uses liberty and sterling hops, not very bitter at all, dry hopped, cold-crashed, tastes like an ordinary american ale type yeast, and 6.6% ABV. Anyone out there have a tried and true recipe, or good at formulating recipes for these kinds of beers? Any help is appreciated.
