alrighty.

ok a lil info on it

type: west coast pale ale
abv: 3.7%
fermintation time: 15 days
bottle condition time: 14 days and counting

right now (at 2 weeks bottle conditioning) it has great carbontation which i am a huge fan of. i'm hoping the extra bottle condition time wil add a little more head to really let the aroma out.

I really like the taste, or rather the taste it can become. i think a few more days in the bottle before i cold crash could really do wonders for adding something to the flavor profile. as a west coast pale ale it is a pretty safe beer to start with, so as someone would imagine, its a perfect balance of sweet, with a hoppy finish. which i know sounds really general, but a lot of home brews come out overly cidery (too much sugar) or somewhat flat with a yeasty taste. right now, i really like the taste, but am going to give it another 1-2 weeks to let all the flavors really come through.

currently have a blonde ale in the works, which i'm really excited to bottle and try

i know a lot of home brew purists shun the Mr. beer kit, but if you really want to grasp the concept of brewing and try some different methods or try different ingredients get bold with some tastes, this is the way to go.
