Does anyone know of a clone for Three Floyds Alpha King Pale Ale? Or, would someone out there with a sensitive palette be able to come up with one.

I am guessing that it clocks in at about 70 IBU's but the hops are not Cascade, I can figure that much out.

Edit: It looks like they use Centennial, Warrior and Cascade (guess I was wrong). http://www.threefloyds.com/dspAlphaKing.html
If I were to guess:
Warrior 90 minutes
Centennial 60 minutes
Cascade 30 minutes

Three Floyds Alpha King! I remember my first one of those quite dramatically. That was the beer that taught me what "hoppy" was. Kicked me in the teeth.

I think I had 4 that night.

Best of luck, let us know if you get close.
 
This is the one I made. It is an adaptation of the one BYO has in their 150 clone brews. It won a Gold Medal at the 2007 Schooner Home Brew competition. The color and flavor are pretty close.
