Ale, Pilsner or IPA/APA suggestions

[McFeast]

G'day guys, am looking for a new recipe to replace my standard AG back to back stock beer on tap.
So am looking for some suggestions I should try from the bottle-o this afternoon.
Not looking for a super hoppy beer, but something I can get stuck into quite easily of an afternoon.
What is your suggestion? my favourite will end up being what I clone.

Cheers

Wolf of the willows xpa.. Or failing that, big eye IPA

Little Creatures IPA is a great one. I think it's important that an IPA goes down very easily (unlike the 1015-1018 Northern/Southern Harvest IPA's). Not sure how you will go with a recipe for that.

Vale IPA is always good too and should be easy to find.

Big Eye is great.

I think Coldstream did a really good pils, and the Moo brew is pretty good too. Knappstein (pils) is great but best out of a glass.

Mountains Goat Summer Ale or Steam Ale

L Creatures IPA

Stone and Wood Pale Ale

These are some beers that you can probably find clone recipes on the forum.
