It is also a little sweeter but I wonder if that is just due to the IBU difference. All in all it is really nice. I definitely will brew it again but with the right yeast next time and possibly up the sixty minute hop addition a little.
did you hit your OG and FG? If not, the sweetness could be due to your higher mash temp which would leave behind some residual unfermentables. Did you adjust for the age of your hops if they were not fresh from this year? That could also have lead to a lighter bitterness than in the original AB. This one is definitely on my to do list after my spring run.
