The ale came out great although not as hoppy as SNPA.
I don't have access to my brew notes at work, but my suspicion is that I probably didn't boil with enough water, so my hop utilization was low.
It was frikking 115, so I know for a fact that it was not a full volume boil.
I don't get out to bars as much as I used to so my exemplar was the bottled version and not the draft version.
If you do a search, there seems to be a debate about how the original SNPA recipe has changed over the years. Also, from what I remember Dude seems to be the resident expert on SNPA recipes.
