Bent Paddle 14° ESB Clone

[Wild1z]

Hi all, to preface this.. I searched the forum (Internet too) Bent Paddle Clone, 14 Degree Clone, BP 14 Degree Clone.. and couldn't find it through search. (Learned something about cloning red bearded snipe though, on my 3rd beer, but that's another story.

Anyhoo, I went to the BP site http://www.bentpaddlebrewing.com/beer/flagship-beers.php and saw the ingredients listed. I figured they might be put in some sort of order, left to right, lefter is larger..and followed that. Not sure if I am right or wrong, I haven't even brewed it yet.

Why am I posting this? Well I like the beer and thought I could use a bit of your experience to help me/us/we along with making a go at cloning this. I'm looking for those wise suggestions y'all are good at dispensing, "you know Rob, that might get lost in the brew" or "Yeah, I'd skip this and add that..

I did reach out to Bent Paddle via email, to see if they would give me a clue. I just did this today in fact.

Here it goes..

I got a reply from the director of Brewery Communications! Thank you Colin Mullen!

Hate to dredge up a dead post, but did anything ever come from this? Anyone brew it? Thoughts?
