Firestone Walker Brewing Company: Union Jack clone
According to Firestone Walker’s Brewing Co.’s website “This aggressively hopped West Coast IPA showcases stunning pineapple, citrus and piney aromas along with exceptional dry hop flavors of grapefruit and tangerine. This intense brew finds its balance in hone-like pale malt sweetness. The name Union Jack is a nod to the colonial origins of the IPA style, and to the British expatriate who co‐founded our brewery.”
Weyerbacher Brewing Company: Imperial Pumpkin Ale clone
This hearty, full-bodied, spicy pumpkin ale is rich with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and clove.
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
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.
