So, I couldnt really ever find if anybody that brewed the recipe given by the head brewer, but seems that everybody has brewed this one:

FG after a week was 1.012. Top cropped some yeast and put in the dry hops. Very promising sample!

This beer is on tap now. Very good...seems more bitter than I remember two hearted? Side by side coming up soon, but the recipe is definitely a two thumbs up (we will just have to see how close it comes to being a clone).

Anybody out there interested in this recipe???

I'd like to try it.

I'll trade ya..
