CLEAR------"BZAP!"
Bringing this one back from the dead quickly.
Just had to chime in regarding the Amarillo Ale kit the OP mentioned.
I just brewed this one up and cracked the 1st one last night after only 2 1/2 weeks bottle conditioning. Carbed up very nicely with a nice foamy head and was just fantastic. I've only got about 20 batches or so under my belt, but I feel this is definitely worthy of the 'best batch I've ever made' tag. This beer is the perfect summer session beer, light, not too hoppy (is there such a thing?), flowery, juicy, great malt balance....could go on and on about this kit.
I'm not a Williams employee so this isn't just advertising. But every kit I've got from them has been very good. Also tried some AHS and NB kits which were also fantastic, but the Williams have been consistently the best....which partially bothers me because they are so damn simple, I don't feel like I'm really crafting anything other than just boiling water/LME/hops.
So if your looking for an easy summer session beer that's ready in 6 weeks total, I can't recommend this kit enough. I'm ordering two more of them today.
Cheers!
