Tall Ship Amber Clone

Post by Ruby » Wed Feb 25, 2015 9:33 pm

Hey there lads and lassies,

Has anyone ever tried to clone Garrison's Tall Ship Amber, or have any idea on ingredients?

I fancy giving it a try.

Cheers!

I've never tried to clone that one, but they have spec sheets on their website that give you a few hints of where to start:

One of my buddies switched to this as his go to beer. I'd also love to be able to clone it.

I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chamber of my brain -
Quaintest thoughts - queerist fancies

What care I how time advances?
I am drinking ale today." ~ Poe

Thank you! :rockin: Practically a recipe. I don't know why I didn't start at the source!

I would try wyeast 1338 as the yeast and mash low around 148F
"Twenty years ago — a time, by the way, that hops such as Simcoe and Citra were already being developed, but weren’t about to find immediate popularity — there wasn’t a brewer on earth who would have gone to the annual Hop Growers of American convention and said, “I’m going to have a beer that we make 4,000 barrels of, one time a year. It flies off the shelf at damn near $20 a six-pack, and you know what it smells like? It smells like your cat ate your weed and then pissed in the Christmas tree.” - Bell’s Brewery Director of Operations John Mallet on the scent of their popular Hopslam.

Thanks for the info. I probably wouldn't have gone down the European route for yeast. I was thinking an American Ale yeast, but I suppose Tall Ship does has a little sweetness there. I'll give it a go!

Cheers!

Ruby did you ever end up making this? How'd it turn out? I was thinking about making something like this for my dad for Christmas.

Related, but what's up with the new blue packaged 'Tall Ship Ale'. It has a different ABV. Is this a separate product or a revamping of their old amber? http://www.mynslc.com/Products/PID-1001550" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Who knows. They seem to be slapping whatever label they want on the bottles :lol: :
