Runs With Beer

Brewers Best: Oktoberfest home brewing kit final product review C- A: 4.5/5 I really like the way this looks. The color turned out exactly as I had hoped. Amber body with red and yellow edges, white fluffy yeasty head. Little CO2 nucleation. S: 1/5 It doesn’t really smell like beer, and doesn’t smell good at all. Fruit + Yeast + Alcohol – malts – hops. T: 2/5 Light hop character, dominated by fruity esters and alcohol. Malts are basically indistinguishable. Easy to drink, but no real strong notes. M: 3/5 Light bodied, crisp, nothing special.
