How close would you say this comes to Fat Tyre? I've been searching for a good clone.

mine was the same except for the Crystal. I used 1/4 pound of 20 L. Turned out so good I will be brewing again in two weeks. Never had the real stuff but had heard so many brag about it, I made it. The taste testers said it just like the original.
