So I have the following ingredients and need some help coming up with a tasty beer to brew this weekend:

-.5 lbs carapils
-.5 lbs crystal 77
-.5 lbs chocolate malt
-6 lbs of liquid pale malt extract
-1 lbs cascade
-1 lbs centennial
-Notingham dry yeast

I could stop by my LHBS and pick up some more malt but I would rather not. I am open to any style and suggestion.

Thank you
 
For a 5.5 gallon batch:
5.25# Pale Liquid Malt Extract
0.5# Crystal 77
0.5# Carapils
0.25# Chocolate
0.25oz Centennial @ 45 min
0.75oz Cascades @ 15 min
Notty
 
Looks like classic American Brown Ale to me, albeit on the smaller end of the scale. I'd keep the bittering charge relatively light, and load up on Cascades at flameout.

Thanks for the replies... What would be some commercial examples of an American Brown Ale?
