I try not to go down the clone route; generally I prefer to focus on flavours and maybe style rather than brand...
HOWEVER.
In discussion with a fellow beer enthusiast and homebrewer I got myself stuck into attempting to clone a brew which I've never tasted and knew next-to-nothing about until today.
So I'm hoping for a little help. :huh:
There are some solid references to the beer on this site in terms of it's quality, so I'm happy to pursue it further.
The reviews etc on ratebeer don't really give me much to go on.
It is available by the bottle in Australia - and I will track down a bottle or two - but this always concerns me.
Can someone give me an indication of comparison between cask in Britain and bottle in Australia - apart from the general given that there is no comparison
Anybody spied it around Adelaide bottleshops? I will do a trek of the usuals but otherwise it may be an order from beerstore or similar.
Anybody want to start giving me a hint re flavours or recipe suggestions. Malts, hops, bitterness... the usual stuff you need to fill in the gaps where the only solids are the outline :excl:
You can even start me off with any suggestions regarding the specifics of a Caledonian (ie Scottish?) IPA versus an English IPA. wee stu... please try not to be too parochial
Cheers.
