THE FINEST CRAFT BEER RECIPE KITS

Cream Ale

Irish Red Ale 

An easy-drinking pint, often with subtle flavors. Slightly malty in the balance sometimes with an initial soft toffee or caramel sweetness, a slightly grainy-biscuity palate, and a touch of roasted dryness in the finish. Some versions can emphasize the caramel and sweetness more, while others will favor the grainy palate and roasted dryness.

Classic American Pilsner / Bohemian Pilsener

A blend of two classic styles. 

2C. Classic American Pilsner -  Low to medium grainy, corn-like or sweet maltiness may be evident. Medium to moderately high hop aroma. Clean lager character, with no fruitiness or diacetyl.

2B Bohemian Pilsener - Rich with complex malt and a spicy, floral Saaz hop bouquet. Some pleasant, restrained diacetyl is acceptable, but need not be present. Otherwise clean, with no fruity esters. 

5.0% ABV 27.1 IBU

Rauchbier

A beechwood-smoked, malty, amber German lager. The expected Märzen profile of toasty-rich malt, restrained bitterness, clean fermentation, and a relatively dry finish is enhanced by a noticeable to intense smoke character.
