Notes

Yeast: I used a 2nd generation strain (self cultured), with a starter at ~30 degrees C, with stir plate over three days. This high gravity recipe requires a robust starter (earlier attempts had very poor attenuation).

Flavour is very close but hops could be experimented with to get a closer match in dryness / bitterness.

Very small amount of orange peel is needed (one three cm strip for 5L batch) - result is distinctly citrusy.

Used a batch sparge using a sieve and a repeated lauter step.

Flavour develops over months - I wait at least two months to taste.
