My Elder brew is still in bottles and the Columbus was my second attempt at brewing beer. Opened bottles of Columbus the other day and it tastes freaking amazing and alcohol content was accurate. Two more purchases will be coming soon. The Columbus batch got me 42 bottles of beer,

My wife loves IPA's and she enjoyed this kit.

Picked this kit up with the KOTW promo. I added an extra pound of dextrose at the 15 min mark to boost abv. finished at 7.6% I'm enjoying it and would recommend

I purchased this kit for the soul purpose of making a batch of Pliny the Elder. I have the other hops but was low on Columbus and to do a 5 gallon batch I will need to push the volume in the fermenter. With not quite enough mash tun space for this, I can use some of the extract to help me boost the OG where it needs to be.

I have been a big fan ofColumbus IPA, good taste at a very reasonable cost. ??

Friend and I used to do all-grain brewing, and decided to go the extract route this time. The kit had everything you need (except for yeast) to get your beer going... everything packaged neatly and nicely, and came within two days. Would recommend this kit to anyone looking to get into making beer with extract.

my friends and I think this kit is the best one you sell. I would recomend it to everyone

I've been brewing for a few decades experimenting with different combinations of malts, hops and yeasts. Fresh Columbus Hops serve as well as any hop I've tried for a bitter, flavor, or aroma hop at any price. This kit resembles on of my recipes. I add an extra 4oz of Columbus hops for flavor and aroma to this recipe. I use White Labs California Ale Yeast.

came out quite pleasant.

In your face hops with abundant grapefruit notes. Delicious, juicy beer!

I have brewed this IPA multiple times and it always gets rave reviews. I love it ??

Great tasting beer would recommend to all.

Solid beer. I would definitely buy again.

This is my first home brew and I'm glad I started with this kit. I have to admit I was nervous as hell throughout the whole process, worried that I screwed up a step along the way. But after two weeks primary, and two weeks conditioning in the bottle I got to finally sample my brew last weekend and was really blown away. My first thought was, I would definitely buy this if it was offered in a store. The aroma was just right, and the color was perfect, a dark amber, just a bit cloudy. I would describe the texture as almost creamy with just the right amount of hop bitterness. Carbonation after two weeks was spot on. I really didn't deviate from the instructions that came with the kit and am happy with the result. I'm totally hooked now, and will be starting my next batch this weekend.

I have brewed this in the past and it was great beer. It came up on a deal of the day and which basically makes it shipped for free. This will probably become a regular in my IPA brews.

I cant say how this was straight up by the recipe because I used it as a base for an IPA hop experiment batch. But it turned out great gravity was right on enough malt to stand up to a lot of hops and very smooth. Used Us-05 yeast fermented fully within 3 days let it sit for 7 days dry hopped for 5 and tested one at 7 days after bottling and already has a nice carbonation. No problems would definitely order again!

I brewed this IPA when it was first offered and many times since. I have become somewhat of a Columbus hops junkie-- find myself seeking it out in other IPAs. Great stuff. Just can't get enough of this amazing recipe.

This was a great beer, and lived up to the description. But if you are looking for a bitter IPA, you might consider a different kit.

this was one of the first brews i ever did and they made it so e3asy and the product was so good, I couldn't hepl to get hooked further into brewing!

I was expecting a more bitter flavor with all those hops. No changes from the recipe, came out 1.056 OG which I thought was a little low. 10 days in primary, 18 days in secondary, force carbing in fridge now. Pulled a glass when kegging, 1.007 FG so I'm at about 6.5%. What a fantastic aroma. Very complex; I can't stop trying to figure out all I'm picking up. Someone above said tangerine and kiwi, I'd say that's spot on. I'm very pleased. Wedding's in 3 days...should be a winner.

I have shared this brew with friends and co-workers. Some are well-beyond my experience level as a home brewer, so I valued their opinion. They liked the color (darker than the image shown) and clarity and felt the malty tones were a bit out of balance with the carbonation and bitterness.I had kegged this batch and flattened my sample bottle through poor filling practices. So with better carbonation and another week in a refrigerated keg - it is now balanced and was gobbled up at a recent birthday party. Maybe it was gobbled up because the other option was Corona... But I heard nothing but compliments and please bring two growlers next time, or the whole keg!Will make again. Only a gallon left and need to knock the next recipe off my list.

I've brewed this multiple times and its delicious, too easy to drink and wonderful! If you like IPA, this won't disappoint.

This is an awesome kit! Great single hop IPA. Not too chewy, very drinkable. My wife loved this brew.

I have been enjoying this beer for the past few weeks. It has a dry hop flavor that is not too bitter and reminds me of under-ripe berries. I quite enjoy the character of the Columbus hops. However, the aroma is a bit too subtle and I would have liked a bit of malt character to balance out the hops a bit. If I make this again, I will certainly tweak the recipe a bit.

This is my go to IPAA. Although I like Citra better, I can't afford it.

This is a go to IPA for me easy and Fast fermentation!

My friends and family think is the best IPA I have ever brewed. I am amazed that such an easy brew is this good.

A great ipa. I have done this kit twice and plan on doing it again soon. Of all the batches I have brewed this is been my favorite.

I love the Columbus hops in an IPA. I brewed exactly per instructions. I did 15 days in primary and then bottled. After two weeks of bottle conditioning, I tried my first one. Wow......an awesome IPA. I would say one of my favorite IPA's of all that I have tried. (craft + my own brews) However, after about another two weeks, some of the hops flavor dissipated. I know that is typical in IPA's, but seemed quite fast to lose that much flavor. Still an excellent beer, but not as good as the first two week after bottle conditioning. So, drink it fresh and drink it fast!

This is a well balanced hoppy beer that came out great for me. I'm brewing it again this week for a picnic.

It's a nice IPA for the price. I added one oz of Amarillo hops to my secondary for 5 days and it gave it a nice flavor and a great aroma. I still like Nate's Hop Bomb as my number one chose for a good IPA.
