So, I'm having a head-to-head comparison of my Dogfish Head 60 minute clone and the real thing.
The "real" mccoy is clear and mine is hazy (damn- forgot the Irish Moss again!) but otherwise same color, same head, etc. But, dare I say it, my clone tastes better! Don't get me wrong- that DFH 60 minute is a mighty fine beer. But for an IPA, there's not a whole lot of hops aroma.
Mine tastes very similar, but my husband described mine as "fresher" tasting. I think it's the hops aroma from the dryhopping. And I made it on 1/30/07, so maybe it is fresher!
Either I'm arrogant enough to think it's better, or else I'm delusional. Either way, I'm drinking some good beer!
