I've been brewing for the past 2.5 years. Most of the batches I've brewed were recipes from homebrewsupply.com. I recently decided to take a stab at creating a clone recipe of one of my favorite beers. It's a simple dry hopped pale ale from a local brewery.

Aside from the ABV target, I think I'm getting pretty close.
My recipe: https://share.brewfather.app/uGQQhGsGrf0J85

The haze is almost spot on; however, Shepherd Boy appears to be a bit more orangish while mine comes in a little darker. I did use 2 rounds of citra dry hops which may explain the slight color difference. My dry hopped pales usually get a slight green tint.
I need to mellow out the calcium chloride as well. My water profile uses a much softer profile (similar to a NEIPA). If it wasn't for the water profile, I'd have a really hard time telling the difference in a blind taste test.
Any suggestions for improvement on the color?
