good bear, but had some carbonation issues

Review by Justin K. on 7/13/2008

Pros: Taste was good for those of you who like a hoppier flavor. Also, it wasn't hard to make.

Cons: Not sure if something went wrong in the process or if it's just the nature of this kit but this turned out to be by far my most carbonated batch ever. If I didn't pour ultra slow into the glass I'd end up with a full pint of foam.

fireside ale

Review by TIMOTHY C. on 7/11/2008

Pros: Very simple brewing process. Excellent results. Simply put-fantastic beer !!!! Everyone that tried the beer raved about it. Absolutely a do-over beer. The description does not do this beer justice.

Cons: Only makes 5 gallons

Review by Travis K. on 7/11/2008

Pros: Great tasting beer that doesn't take too long from boling to drinking. Very simple to brew.

A great holiday ale

Review by Mark M. on 7/11/2008

Pros: Like the name implies, this is a brew for cool weather. Not overly spiced like many holiday ales. Just the right amount of maltiness. I brew a batch of this every fall.

Cons: A little heavy for quenching your thirst when the weather is hot.
