Ive done this one twice.Great flavor in an easy drinker.
A very good beer. It is the first beer I used the fermzilla with pressure fermentation. Very good and crisp beer. Dry hopping withthe Simcoe hops was a good choice. Love the Simcoe.
Taste's like your typical blonde ale but hopped up a little more and would make a nice base-beer to build upon. Followed the directions as is and was very solid...hit target AG/FG. At the price you can't beat and I could see having it on tap rotation as a house ale.
Very good beer even for first time beer drinkers
This is a solid blonde ingredient set up
One of the best beers I've brew and definetly one of the best beers I've try, add an ounce of citra to the secundary and you'll have a bomb!
This is the second go around for these. Like them so much the first time decided to do them for a wedding
This is a very nice Blonde Ale. Easy drinking. Nose had a hint of caramel with a mild hops aroma. Good head retention. Color is a little darker than the recipe at ~8 SRM. OG 1.055; FG 1.010; ABV 5.91%.
one of my favorites. will keep in my rotation for spring and summer brews. not overly hoppy at all.
I was skeptical about trying a blonde but I gave this a try based on the hop bill. This finished pretty hazy but after almost three weeks in the keg it was crystal clear. Pretty cool. Anyway this is a smooth, easy drinking brew with the balance leaning slightly toward the hops side. Great summertime brew. Even people who don't like craft beer were loving this. I've already had requests to make this kit again.
Great kit. Wonderful summer beer with nice hop aroma. Easy drinker; always a hit.
I was a bit at odds with the hop scedule. Cascade full boil and Willamette at five minutes and dry hop with high alpha simcoe...Seemed backwards, I boiled with simcoe and dry hopped with cascade. Nice and fresh with citrus, and pleasant tang from the simcoe.
Tweaked the recipe a bit. .5oz at 60 min, .5oz at 30, 1oz at 10, 2oz whirlpool. Used Omega Hornindal Kviek pitched at 90 and fermented at 90 for 6 days. added 2oz Amarillo day 7, 2oz. Simcoe day 8 and 1lb of blood orange candi syrup. Let that ride for 2day and cold crashed for 4 days.
Absolutely delicious all grain brewing in a bag just bought a grain grinder and buying everything in bulk and this is one of the beers I make in that in light ale
Very nice tasting beer. A little light on the hops aroma but that may be the brewer's fault
Added blood red orange to it at the end of the boil. It went so fast that I had to order it again.
One of my go to brews.
Have already made this twice and both times we drained the keg quickly! A nice, light beer with some good hop flavor for summer
At $20, I thought this was a great option to experiment with a Pineapple Bonde Ale recipe I was messing around with--and it turned out pretty good! I would suggest this recipe to most people.
Great all around kit. I always add an extra ounce of hops for 5 days. I ran out of us 05 so used dry ale yeast instead. This yeast gave it a German beer flavor
This one was amazing. We kicked the keg fast after this one.
Light and easy to drink.
I really enjoyed this beer. I split the batch. I did 2.5 gallons per the recipe and 2.5 gallons on an extra 1oz of Mosaic hops for 5 days. Both came out amazing and tapped at the same time. I will buy this kit in the future and experiment dry hopping with something new each time. The hard part is keeping it around long enough to see if it gets better with age.
Bought two of these so far and about to brew my third. Great beer left by itself. I double hops up on 2nd batch and it got a nice mild ipa flavor going on. I like blondes more sweet so going to do it again, with less bittering hops and see what happens!
This one turned out a great low bitter beer with lots of flavor. Very easy to drink, smells and taste like a good ipa without the bitterness. This is a good everyday beer, and blends well with other very bitter ipa's. Well keep on tap for friends not into ipa's and stouts, or for times I want to drink a lot of lower abv beer. Overall great beer that I believe anyone would like. Cheers
Ordered 3 of these kits. All of them have turned out great. I got 70% to 75% efficiency on average. Added and extra ounce of Chinook @ 30 minutes and an ounce of Simcoe at flameout for a much hoppier taste and aroma on the 2nd and 3rd batches. Makes a great "poorman's IPA". This beer has good head retention and lacing to the bottom of the glass. GREAT value for the money.
For the price, it doesn't get any better. This beer is incredibly smooth and easy to drink, while also showing a very nice bitterness and aroma, thanks to the Simcoe finish.Also, not sure if I had super awesome efficiency (didn't take a gravity reading on this one) but after 2-3 of these beers I seem to start getting super buzzed. Not that I am complaining at all.
I purchased this kit back in December. At first my wife was unsure about the hops combo. (its different than regular blond ale.) but she liked this beer even more. Great taste and light on the pallet. After 5 weeks the bitterness mellowed out and became too easy to drink. Smooth going down easy to pack away 6-8 beers a night.If you want to try out dry hopping then THIS is the kit for you. Also + on the kit its only 18.99... Amazing deal!
This is a great recipe, medium to light body without overwhelming hops. Good malt flavor, dark gold color with a hint of red. GREAT head retention.My efficiency with biab is somewhat low so I added 2 lbs of 2-row pale malt for 1.050 sg. Ended up about 5.5 abv.I went a little light on the bittering hops with about .8 instead of 1 oz. I didn't do the dry hopping but may try it on the next batch.Very refreshing and way too easy to drink.
