It looks pretty good. It is certainly NOT a SMaSH. It looks more like an amber or brown ale.

Thanks. Originally, this was going to be just pale malt and hops - more like a white IPA, but I need to use some crystal malt I have just sitting around. I'll still find out if I like challenger hops though...
