Tapping this on 8/25/09

recipe:

From BYO magazine page 21


I did a comparison with the first batch of this and a bottle of Fat Tire from New Belgian:
Mine had a slightly duller taste that was noticeable. My wife commented that there was a more "floral" nose/taste to the original New Belgian.

Of course my clone was visibly cloudier. I'm not filtering like the pros.

I'll have to take a sample to the LHBS and see what the guys there think. The certified beer judge will probably give me some tips.
