I dont know about these calulations with the ingredients here. My system has a low IBU 6.6% Pale. An online calculator came up with a 5.7% low IBU beer... Maybe this needs updating?

BEST ANSWER: Hello Ben - We typically underscore efficiency in our kits for those just getting started in homebrewing.
does this come with the yeast or is that a separate purchase requirement?
Jerry Lindsay on Mar 13, 2018
BEST ANSWER: No, this kit does not include yeast. We do recommend these yeasts.

Dissipointing
My co-brewer and I have brewed this recipe twice and have unfortunately disappointed in the result each time. The carbonation and nice white head were fine. We wish that the color had a bit of red/orange in it to go along with the name but the biggest disappointment for us was the lack of the "WOW" factor in the resulting flavor. In our opinion and others who drank this it came across a "bland" or "lack luster" compared to other pale ales we have brewed. For us we will pass on this one.

This is a very good ale, we have brewed it a couple of times and it has turned out great. Love the color and the flavors, this was a crowd favorite.

Balanced hop bitterness with bright aromas
I was looking to increasing the hop aromas in my beer without going into IPA territory. For what it's worth, the calculated IBU was going to be in the 45 range so I was concerned about being too bitter. IBUs or not, I was super happy with the way the beer turned out - a very nice aroma with a balanced but assertive hop bitterness offsetting the malt. Definitely putting this one on the rotation.

Very enjoyable
I brewed this as BIAB on August 1st and it was bottled August 16th with a dash of orange extract and steeped earl grey extra bergamot tea. I also mashed it warmer than suggested to help the malt flavor. Yeast was BRY-97. Everyone liked it.

excellent!
Kegged this for a party I had and got lots of good compliments. I brewed this thinking it would be a good compromise for my light beer drinking friends and was very impressed w/ it's taste. Will definitely buy again.
