Bad Ass clone recipe/Tahoe Brewery/So. Lake Tahoe, CA

This recipe came very close to the original Bad Ass produced at Tahoe Brewery, but it seems that Tahoe has adjusted its recipe to emphasize a more aggressive hop profile. Of course, that's just one person's opinion. Overall, I've been happy with the all grain version of this beer.
