This is one easy beer recipe to brew & the rewards are grand. Soft smooth with a decent head as you can see. I pour it so I can have a full glass of beer with just a little head. You can enjoy this from the bottle too which is often how I like them. Pictured is one of the original quart bottles.This is a very nice sipping beer. Though you certainly can chug it down to get some quick refreshment. It feels good on your tongue & really makes you want to take another sip it is that pleasing. I knew that it would be when I sipped it from the beer thief at bottling time. You'll want to get started on your next batch so you have some on reserve.I'm not a sit on it home beer maker. I like it done & ready. I don't see that as a problem with this brew at all. I do imagine that letting it age a bit or even sit in the fridge will make it all the more smooth & refined. This is the recipe for Dad's Cream Ale using the kit. I haven't tried American Lager on it's own recently.I am very happy with how far along Mr. Beer has come over the years. The instructions have always been easy but the recent attention to detail they have to the ingredients in the HME & LME as well as the recipes does make it more fun to brew my own private stock of premium beer (Ale Pilsner & so on). This recipe is no exception. It was super easy to do.So far all of the packaging allows me to rinse them out & not waste any ingredients or flavor. I really appreciate that.
