Almost exactly 5 years ago I brewed my first batch ever. The extract version of MoreBeer's Irish Red. I didn't know what the hell I was doing back then. I saved a few bottles of that first batch, though, and opened the first of the 'reserved' bottles today in honor of St. Patrick's Day.
I am surprised by how great the beer still is. Very malt forward on the nose as well as taste-wise, as expected. But this 5-year old, extract-based beer, brewed by an amateur, is better than 95% of beer you'll buy at the store.
Just thought I'd share this testament as to how great home brewing is!
