Notes
Just taking a stab in the dark at this recipe. I recently brought home a growler of this IPA and really liked it. As I was drinking it I jotted down this recipe thinking that it might come close to being a clone. Mash at 126F for 15 min. Raise to 149F for 90 min. Boil 60 min. Ferment 66F for 2 days, then 68F for 5 days, then 71F for 1 day. Crash to 50F and keg. Add dry hops to keg for 7 days, then transfer to another keg and carbonate.

Kegged it 4/28/08... it's not bad, definitely very hoppy, especially in the flavor. Nice round bitterness. The hop character is a little off what the TMBC is like, though. I think the Simcoe probably doesn't fit. Also, there's just too much hop flavor. Cut out the Simcoe, reduce the aroma hops to 2 oz total. Not totally sure if Columbus is good for aroma either... but I do think there's something other than just cent/cascade going on. The alcohol is also pretty high on this and should be reduced quite a bit so that it has a cleaner flavor. It needs to be more drinkable. Color is also slightly too light.

Update: As the beer clears the color is more in line with what I intended. It's also more drinkable and the hop flavor is really enjoyable. Aroma is a bit lacking, but I haven't dry hopped it yet. That should take care of the aroma. Going to dry hop with .5 oz Amar, Casc, Cent. instead of what is in the recipe.
