Copper Ale Clone Needed

Hey All,

I got a buddy of mine who has done lots of favors for me over the last year or so and I just found out that he really, really enjoys Otter Creek's Copper Ale.

I plan on making a batch of this for him but so far I haven't had any luck finding a clone recipe for it.

Can any of you help me out with a extract or partial mash recipe? I haven't gotten to the all grain brewing yet.

Thanks in advance.

Eric

Hmmm...

If memory serves me this is a German Alt style beer right?  One could probably get fairly close using the BJCP guidlines for an Alt, grabbing a few bottles to taste test/guess ingredients with and scrutinizing reviews of the brew.  

I can't find a clone recipe for this beer either which is usually when I do the above.

Good luck Eric!  I'll post back if I stumble across something.
