Alaskan Amber Clone

I haven't brewed in quite a while (for myself that is). I was up at my inlaws in Seattle area with out any homebrew, which isn't the best idea in the world. I headed to Safeway and picked up a 12 pack of Alaskan Amber for my father-inlaw and me. I haven't had an amber in years--choosing IPAs instead, but MAN that stuff is really good! I downed most of the 12 pack and made upy mind to brew it when I got back, so here I go.
Ingredients:
10lbs GW 2-row (up from 8 for gnarly sake)
1 lbs GW crystal 80
1/2 lbs GW crystal 40
1/2 lbs GW crystal 10
Hops:
1 oz cascade @60
1 oz saaz @15
Yeast
Wyeast 1007 German Ale

Notes:
Seriously the fastest brew day I've ever has! From water heating for strike water, to full clean up, it only took 3 hours. Stoked!
