I love this beer and would like to take a stab at brewing it. Has anyone attempted to clone this in the past and if so, do you mind sharing the recipe?

Thanks,
Jeff

This is an old post, but I too like this beer and I was wondering if you ever found a clone recipe?

No, unfortunately I never found a clone recipe of this beer. I'm stuck enjoying it at the pub. Had some last week in fact.

Have you tried the goodlife Sweet As ale? I like it better than the descender IPA, and I have the recipe for it

I definitely recognize the name but not sure if I've tried it. Mind posting the recipe?

Have you ever visited the Brewery? Cool place to hang out. Nice grassy area with picnic tables, cornhole and bocce ball.

I know this is an old thread, hoping you would share your Goodlife Sweet As recipe? The wife wants me to brew something for her next.
