I just pitched my first batch. It's the extract version since I am not all grain yet. I can't wait.

lol just lower the hop additions.
If they don't like the bitterness, just cut down the 60 minute addition.
If they don't like the taste of hops (!!!!!!), then take out the 30, 15, and 5 minute additions and make add .5oz at 35-40 minutes.
If they don't like the aroma (and little taste), just take out the 15 and 5 minute additions and add .25oz to the 30 minute addition.
Something like that.

This beer is so light on hops....
Try turning the carbonation down(lower PSI or less priming sugar). Sometimes with lightly hopped beer, if you carb like it's budweiser, sometimes it'll be sharp, rather than flavorful.
With hops, alot of people don't like the bitterness. If you load up on late additions and cut back the 60 minute additions, you get flavor instead of bitterness. I've seen people get turned on to heavily hopped IPAs this way.

Yeah.. seriously. I'm disappointed in myself for not adding more hops.

Just opened up the first bottle, this was my first all grain. Lightest color I have ever made, excellent flavor, great head, loved it! Couldn't be happier with my first try at AG. Just a great standard ale. Definitely see why this seems to be a popular staple.
