So, last night I decided to splurge and purchase a bottle of Chimay Premiere. It's a Belgian Trappist Ale. It cost me $11.00 for a 25.4 oz bottle... which seemed a bit ridiculous, but a friend of mine has really talked this beer up... so I gave it a shot. It really was hands down the best beer I...

I kind of have a journal going on of my first brewing experience under "Extract Brewing" but I wanted to make a separate thread to show some pictures of my first taste. These are pictures of my IPA which I had last night. The beer was bottled for one week and one day (and it already tastes good...
