Okay, here is what I have done. I tried to "clone" the Abita 4-Grain Ale, but seeing as I've never tried it, and they can't really classify it themselves...well, I just don't know what to expect.
I'm still trying to classify it per the BJCP, but I'm having some difficulty with that. According to BeerSmith, the color puts it in the upper range of an IPA, and it's IBUs are way up there. However, it looks like a nice Amber Ale.
The one thing I'm sure of is that it's getting kegged this weekend.
