All recipes are 6 gallons post-boil (6 gallons post boil > 5.5 gallons in the fermenter > 5 gallons in bottling bucket/keg), 70% efficiency (though this particular recipe is for 65% efficiency), Morey for color, 15% evaporation, Rager IBU, and most hops are in grams not ounces. Most, if not all recipes are primary only (no secondary).
If you brew this, please reply with your results.
Note: the staff originally did not agree that this was cloned. They changed their opinion later due to the clone having a "fresher" taste that could be attributed to the aging of the commercial beer. Some did believe that the homebrew version was "bigger."

Can I brew it? Split decision! Tasty and I say cloned, Justin and Jamil say not cloned (but close!). Dave Chichura will have to help us decide, but either way a re-brew will happen. So, for Dave from Houston Texas and all the other listeners that sent us this challenge, here's the recipe thus far:
