Notes

Based on Former Tenant clones discussed here:
https://aussiehomebrewer.com/threads/former-tenant-red-ipa-modus-operandi.90865/page-4

After three weeks in the bottle, compared to a Former Tenant can dated 06/03/2018.

Appearance:
Colour is super close. The homebrew (HB) leans ever so slightly towards amber, while the FT has a genuine cherry red hue. Head on the FT is a more tan colour, compared to paler HB.

Aroma:
Not dissimilar! But there are distinct differences. FT smells of resinous pine, stewed fruit, ripe pineapple and dark Christmas cake. HB has a lighter, more green, tropical melon-fruit aroma, pineapple and passionfruit, and lacks the pine of the FT.

Taste:
Both beers are initially malty. FT has an early slightly sour acid, before rich palate-coating resin, big bread and biscuit and strong lingering bitterness. HB is sweeter, bitterness is similarly lingering but not as assertive up front, malt character a bit more restrained.

Overall:
Not a perfect clone, but the home brew is in the ballpark. I wanted to all-grain brew so I could make the beer I really wanted to drink, and this is almost as good as the real thing. I find the slightly more restrained, sweeter (but this is still a big red IPA!) character of the home-brew makes it easier to come back for more, but the FT is the beer that smacks you in the cheeks and makes you pay attention. I’m pretty stoked to have a couple of cases of this in store, especially when the FT is $13/500mL!
