Recipe Type: Clone
The Burnt Hickory Brewery: White Flag Third Strike Apricot Saison clone
This Belgian-style wit is brewed with apricot, and Pilsner malt to create a medium-bodied, tart beer with fresh fruit aroma.
Southern Tier Brewing Company: Warlock clone
Warlock is a jet-black, high-ABV spice beer. The rich cocoa flavors are well-balanced by the residual cinnamon and ginger notes, with complementary flavors of vanilla, nutmeg and clove.
Smuttynose Brewing Company: Pumpkin Ale clone
“This beer was designed to have some nice sweetness created by a mix of caramel malts and we wanted a decent hop presence as well. Over the years we’ve reduced the amount of cloves we’ve added as that one spice always seems to be the one to throw things out of balance. If I was brewing this at home I’d go easy on the clove and add more in later batches if needed.” ~ David Yarrington, Brewmaster
Rogue Ales: Marionberry Braggot clone
Rogue’s Marionberry Braggot draws big from the proprietary ingredients being produced at Rogue Farms. Two proprietary honeys, more than a handful of Rogue Farms Malts, Rogue Farms Rebel hops, and (of course) lots of Rogue Farms Marionberries are jam packed into this flavorful honey-forward beverage. Marionberry Braggot is a sipper to be shared responsibly amongst friends!
Odell Brewing Company: Peach IPA clone
Odell Brewing Company, in Fort Collins, Colorado brews the majority of its beers on a 50-barrel system, however brewers still put to use a 5-barrel pilot system at the brewery every week. This recipe (not to be confused with their seasonal imperial peach IPA Tree Shaker) was one of those pilot batches made available at the tasting room.
Dry Dock Brewing Company: Apricot Blonde clone
Winner of the 2014 Great American Beer Festival bronze medal in the American-Style Fruit Beer category. Original gravity is calculated prior to fruit addition while ABV is calculated post fruit addition.
Captain Lawrence Brewing Company: Pumpkin Ale clone
This beer is brewed with pureed pumpkins that are added directly to the mash, while pumpkin pie spices are added to the end of the boil. The finished amber ale is malty and smooth.
Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!: Route des épices (Spice route) clone
This is a malty rye ale spiced with peppercorns. It features rich chocolate and rye grain flavors, a medium body balance and a peppery finish. If you want the peppercorns to stay in the fermenter, you can bag them with the final hops addition. If you follow that process, the cooled wort with the peppercorns can go right from the kettle into the fermenter.
Brasserie Dieu du Ciel!: Rosée d’hibiscus (Pinkish hibiscus) clone
Very pink, very floral, very crisp and light bodied — very drinkable! This beer’s color and aroma are quite eye-catching and aromatic. Look for dried hibiscus flowers at your local food coop, health food store or from any local or online dried herb retailer.
Victory Brewing Company: Zeltbier clone
This crisp lager is just the thing for fall weather. It boasts a balanced malt profile with an herbal, German hop profile.
Springfield Brewing Co: Aviator Doppelbock clone
The winter seasonal was brewed by BYO’s own technical editor, Ashton Lewis. Springfield Brewing Company says that Aviator “drinks like dessert in a glass and is delicious when paired with dried fruits, roasted nuts, and creamy cheese.”
Resurgence Brewing Company: Oktoberfest clone
This upstate New York Oktoberfest is a traditional Marzen style beer. It features biscuit, caramel, and toffee notes.
