Brewed this one up with the following changes:
It was not near cloned. It's tasty tho.
The hop aroma is far too strong, although I minded the AA's. And the flavor hops also kill the sweet honey malt taste and aroma that the commercial beer has.
No doubt that if I had followed the recipe to the letter it would have been closer. But who does that?
- Used pilsner malt instead of pale malt (I had the maris otter, but thought I'd save it)
- Replaced 60-min Centennial with Magnum
- Replaced 5-min Mt. Hood with Amarillo
- Replaced dry hop addition with Amarillo
