    It's everything they say!

    I really enjoy how Mr. Beer offers great tasting lower ABV recipes. This one was clear burnt-orange color with great head retention. Smooth balanced and spicy/herbal from the hops. Really good summer beer!

    Nicely balanced.

    I thought this was a nicely balanced ale. Great when an ipa is too hoppy and you don't want a malty ale.

    Turned out great!

    This was my first partial mash recipe. It took a little longer but was easy enough and definitely worth the effort. I'm definitely getting it again and I'm trying other partial mash recipes.

    Cartwheel Summer Ale

    The recipe was very easy to follow. I was hoping for a little bit lighter in color but overall I am very happy with the taste. Definitely give the bottling process a few extra days.

    Hello! Extract beers are always a little bit on the darker side but if your brew was in the fermenter a few days passed the completion of fermentation this can cause it to darken a bit more. Happy to hear you are enjoying the flavor! Let us know if you have any questions! Cheers!
