Default Can you comment on any Palmer/Papazian recipes?

I recently realized I never brewed any of the recipes in How To Brew or The Joy of Homebrewing. Has anyone brewed any of them and if so, which are recommended?

Good Life Pale Ale was my first PM/mostly-AG batch. Came out real well. Pretty clean and simple.

I brewed the Lady Liberty APA in How to Brew (3rd edition). It was really good and I'd like to brew it again someday. I think it was my first AG brew.

I loosely based my first batch of Amber American Ale off of Palmer's Cincinnati Pale Ale. It turned out very good and I later converted it to AG, I am not sure of the rest but they appear to be very straight forward, true to style recipes. It doesn't look to me like any of them would be 'bad'.

So all the Pale Ales came out good. Has anyone brewed the other style recipes they cover?

All from The Joy of Homebrewing and all extract with steeping grains

Who's in the Garden Grand Cru

I like this one a lot... Belgian Wit beer. Made me think of a better version of Hoegaarden.

Elbro Nerkte Brown Ale

My first beer(book said it could be ready in two weeks) things went well until I had to add my top off water, which I added way too much of, ended up with like 6.25 gallons. Beer came out a little thin to me, but after about 4 months the whole thing seemed to meld together and became very light and drinkable.

Vagabond Gingered Ale

My third beer, and still one of my favorites. Although the first one I tried, the ginger was like a kick in the face and I was worried. A week or so later it had calmed down and was delicious. I definitely would like to make this or something similar again... if I ever get around to rebrewing a recipe that is.

So, all in all the came out pretty well, especially when I was just starting and didn't have much of an idea what I was doing.

I brewed the Denkenfreudenburgerbrau-Oktoberfest All-grain version in How to Brew. The only change I made was subbing hallertauer hersbrucker hops for the liberty, and adjusting the grain bill a little for my efficiency.
It was really good!

From Papa Z's I brewed the Propensity Honey Lager...it was terrible...way too sweet for me...and this coming from a Hefe Weizen drinker...

I won't brew beer with honey ever again...

In the boil. The last one was drunk by a friend (it was 7 months old by then) who said he liked it, but it's not for me...
