I've now brewed 2 batches of extract beer. The first being an Amber Ale, and the second being a Liberty Cream Ale. I purchased both kits from Midwest Supplies.
As far as I know, I followed all steps as closely as I could have. The beer isn't terrible, but I just feel like it's lacking something. They both taste very similar (both made from the same extract "GOLD"). The carbonation is great, neither are very hoppy (I did use a filter bag for the hops), but overall they both kind of taste like carbonated bittersweet water. The best way I can describe it; initial taste is fine, but both are lacking a back end flavor that you get with most beer. Could this be an issue with my yeast?
