Better with Age

Review by Franky on 10/2/2013

This Fireside Ale was the first batch of homebrew that I ever did. I have to be honest, after 2 weeks in the primary and 3-4 weeks of bottle conditioning I was really pretty disappointed. Would have given it 2, maybe 3 stars. However, I ended up leaving the bottles sit for a few months. I just popped one open after almost 7 months of conditioning. WOW! It is one of my favorite brews I have ever had. I know it can be hard, but do yourself a favor. Make it, bottle it, and then forget about it! Let it go for at least 6 months and enjoy!

What a great ale!!

Well, being new to home brewing, I have just finished my 3rd product from William's Brewing, the Fireside Ale. What a wonderful suprise, a great well rounded taste with a full body and beautiful color. Mine came in at 6.9%, and with the first taste, the complextiy of the brew jumps out at you. I am new, and this is great, easy to make, and great to drink.

Excellent Beer

It was a little rough around the edges 3 days after kegging, but mellowed out very nicely after about 3 weeks. Excellent flavor.

Malty is the right word...

The description above is very accurate. Full-flavored, full-bodied, malty...all apply to this beer. Amber-brown in color but does not taste like a regular brown ale, a little more caramel-ish. Slightly higher alcohol content as well. A very good ale for fall/winter.

Great kit !
