Hill Farmstead Edward clone?

[Cody]

I would really be interested if anybody has a good clone recipe for this. I was totally blown away when I tried this at the brewery and would love to make my own.

Hell...I haven't even had the beer yet and my brother lives in the next town over. I'm really hoping to get up there someday soon.

[Cody]

Do it. You won't be sorry.

Alright, here's what I've got. I am open for feedback. Thanks, all.

Brewed this on Sunday. Anticipated OG was 1.050, measured was 1.052. I'll call that a win. Will report back with results later on.

Any luck with this clone?

[Cody]

Just bottled on March 7. Aroma was right on the money. The Citra and particularly the Simcoe really gives it that sweet, almost candy-like aroma that I was looking for. Awesome flavor, firm bitterness that really only asserted itself after dry hopping, as my pre-dry hop gravity sample didn't have much at all. So while I can't say if it's cloned because it's been so long since tasting the real thing, it's definitely delicious. Also, these hops are what I had available. If you look at their website, they list what ingredients they use (Pale and Caramel malt; Cascade, Centennial, Chinook, Columbus, Simcoe, and Warrior hops). I'll report back with a tasting after another week or so.

How would you change up your recipe based on the website and after brewing your own (I know the hops are off)?
