Good representation on this style.
2nd Brew with Robobrew. Just kegged the other day. Not fully carbonated yet but couldn’t resist a glass. Better than expected. Will be brewing more of this.

Good but augment to make it 4 or 5 stars
Needed a little more body and bitterness when using a Brew in a Bag technique
(I would recommend adding another half ounce of hops and 2 lbs of 2 row malt)

A good surprise!
This beer was a surprise to me. It has an excellent crisp flavor with a clean finish. The bitter factor is very mellow and this beer has the character of a lager which I was not expecting. This will be my second brewing of this recipe as the first 5 gallons went so quickly. Easy to brew yet a seemingly more complex taste. My friends & fellow brewers all had a great response to this brew. If you are looking for something slightly different to add to your beer menu you might want to give this recipe a try.
