Well... I started up my first attempt on a so called clone a couple of weeks ago.
Its not a real clone.... yet. When sipfon it from primary after 3 weeks, it taste a lot like some of the flavors are there. Cant say its the real thing. Needs more time on secondary. Colour looks ok. Not as dark as it says her, more like 35, i think. Hard to say when its not clear. Hops, taste and bittering seems ok too.
Now im gonna wait. I have 5 noche buenas, that I brought from mexico this last time. This is a thrill!!!!!
