So thought I'd give it a go as SWMBO likes a can or two of this brew, luckily just caught the last 3 cans at tesco before they stopped stocking it. and at £2.50 for 330ml I more than happy to brew it.
not done a comparison yet, but from my recent taste and predict session, it has come out quite close.
but will do a more in depth comparison when i go and buy a can.
I stepped up the basic water treatments for this one, If anyone is interested i can add the recipe, but its version one and probaly needs more orange peel in the boil, maybe some as a dry addition.
well here's a pic. one of the best I have made so far, along with my black betty clone I did about 18 months ago.

won't add my water treatments as it is specific to my tap water.

when I brew this again, I will maybe up the peel additions or add some peel as a dry addition.
started on the low end to see what I would get, think I will triple the peel and maybe add more dry hops.

let us know if you brew it.
