We're long-time fans of the Deschuttes Mirror Pond, and this one hit the spot. My son & I got busy & let it go in the dry hop phase for too long, but it still came out tasting great -- just a little more bitter & less fruity/floral on the hops.I hadn't brewed for many years, but my son & I chose this kit to get back into the game, and we're really enjoying it. We might do a repeat on this recipe before we explore brewing from grain. Great flavor overall, with broad appeal. Excellent Cascade hop flavor without getting whacked upside the head.
