Union Craft's Double Duckpin Clone?

[kgranger]

Has anyone seen one on the web? I tried emailing them with no response :/ I've usually had pretty good luck with that. Here is its page on ratebeer in case anyone is a wiz at formulating recipes:

I'm looking for all-grain, 5 gal batch. Any info would help!

How did this come out? I just discovered this beer the past few months and really like it, minus the $18 / 6 pack price.

There are a number of Duckpins made at Union Craft Brewery.

Duckpin is their pale ale, a really nice piny/citrus ale balanced nicely with malts. A little thin in the mouthfeel but very tasty.

They also do a Double Duckpin which I believe is their double IPA. I think the recipe listed above is an approximation of the Double as the regular Duckpin is only 5.3% ABV.

Also, I believe the hops that Union uses in Duckpin include Northwest as well as hops from AU/NZ.

Duckpin is a Cascade/Galaxy beer. So good. Not sure about the double but my guess is it's more of the same.

Did anyone have any luck cloning Double Duckpin? One of my faves!
