Just poured one of these , it was part of a Christmas present I was given, the second I tasted it I thought it was the nicest beer I have had. I did a quick search to fins out where it's from a noticed its very highly rated on most websites.

Anyone tried this before? And secondly anyone have a recipe for it, I just have to have a go at making some!!!
 
I sat down and searched the web, while drinking this beer. I couldn’t find a recipe, but I discovered the O.G. is 1.079. and uses a bit of coriander.

If I were to clone this beer it would look something like this:
