So yeah, I'd agree that if he's made significant changes to a 'famous' homebrew recipe, then he should call it something else. Kind of a branding issue in a way. Like the fake Brewdog pub in China. Denny's Wry Smile IPA made by replacing Mt. Hood with Liberty would be hard to detect. Replace MT. Hood with Citra, then rename it.+1

+1.060!
I prefer the gold star.
As long as he is not calling it a Blonde Stout or a Black India Pale Ale I'm good.
