My wife loves this light & sweet wheat. That's why it will become a standard in my keezer. It seems my friends approve as well, since it's hard to keep enough on hand. I'm a total hop-head, but I must say that this is a great session beer, with lots of flavor. I control fermentation temps in the low to mid-60s to effect a crisp, yet hearty brew.

The flavor was smooth and sweet, with a high ester profile. I've added a bit of maltodextrin to some batches with good results; it keeps the light flavor but makes the brew a bit more hearty. Temperature control in the fermentation is key to keeping the off-flavors away, but cold conditioning does wonders with it no matter what.

I have brewed this kit several times, and I have adapted the recipe for other kinds of american-style wheat beers. This produces a great, light, summery beer. It has been a consistent hit with friends and family- there is often a push for me to brew more of it. As I am very space constrained and move often, my brewing setup is very limited. I struggle to find good, light-bodied beers with mass appeal that I can brew, as I have no ability to try all-grain brewing or lagering. As I had no prior experience formulating American-style wheat beer recipes, I decided to start with this kit. This brew has proven very popular and a good starting place for adaptation. The only major drawback is the relatively steep price, driven largely (I think) by the honey. Still, I recommend this kit for anyone looking for a crowd-pleasing, easy-to-brew summer beer.
