HopSlam clone?

[MNHazmat]

Anyone have a good clone recipe for Hopslam? This years batch just hit stores here and while I love it, I can't keep dropping $60+ per case for long...

I find this very close, I didnt think I would like this type of beer at first. I like to serve it in a chilled wine glass. This keg is going away faster than my other kegs!

I can vouch for the simcoe dry hops. If you let a glass warm up to room temp, it's all onion, seriously all onion. It's good when cold though.

pabman, not sure if you are even using these boards but I wanted to give credit where it is due. I made this as an extract and liked it enough I used it to base an all grain BIAB recipe off of.
12lb 2-row
1lb aromatic
Steep at 155 for 60 minutes in 7 gallons of water
Rinse grains with a couple more gallons
Boil and hop schedule the same.
3lbs of honey at flameout.

I needed to say thank you as this has been a favorite of my buddies and recently took runner up best of show (after it won the Pale Ale category) at a homebrew contest in LaCrosse WI.
