Bells Two Hearted Clone

[EccentricDyslexic]

Just keged this after 2 weeks in the FV. FG 1.015 so atenuation of 75%. Smells of caramel and sweet fruits..very nice...but the taste is not good at them mo...defo needs conditioning for a few weeks.

I made a stone ipa clone which is very similar to this beer (ie all centenial) it was fantastic. Would highly recommend.
