Love this beer!

Hops listed on the website as pilgrim, styrian golding, cascade and centennial.

Anyone tried to clone this? Any idea of a hop schedule?
 
I like this beer too. Reminds me a bit of SNPA? What you think?
 
I had a go at something similar last year:

All pale malt (OG1064)
Centennial at 60min to about 40 IBU
Cascade at 30min (8 IBU)
Styrians at 15min (1.5 g/L)
Fuggles at 5min (1g/L)
Styrian & Fuggles post boil steep (1g/L each)
Cascade dry hop (1g/L)

Never did a direct comparison but it was pretty good. I'm sure they used to list fuggles instead of pilgrim which is why I went with them, in case you were wondering :)
 
I find it's both more malty than Sierra Nevada Pale, and also more bitter. The selection of hops is much more herbal and floral (quite British?) than the very cascade-heavy Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada Torpedo is the other one to try, though! :drunk:
