My regular go to beer

Just finished getting this one into the fermenter, so can't comment on the outcome, but this is not my first time and I plan to keep this pale ale on tap all the time. So far it is my favorite for a daily user. I recommend it highly as an easy one to start with, and something that you will enjoy till its gone.

Great

This is my first time dry hopping anything so I wasn't sure what to expect but it turned out very tasty. Some good hop flavor without being super bitter and a beautiful color.

I was up deer hunting and had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale for the first time and wow it was great so when I got done with my hunt (by the way I got my buck) I ordered this kit and it is going on my rotation thank you AIH for a great beer.

My first attempt at brewing

Decided to try this recipe kit as my first attempt at home brewing. I made a few beginner mistakes and had a few flat bottles in the end, but the ones that did come out right were really good. After drinking up the first batch I turned into a beer snob and can't drink MGD or other mass-marketed American "beer" anymore. I just started my second batch!

Tastes AMAZING!

Cracked one open early at two weeks and it already tasted amazing, even green, I think this is one of the best pale ales I've ever tasted. I had a leaky hose on my wort chiller so some un-sanitized water leaked into the wort, it started raining on me while chilling and so some rain water got in the wort too, and I'm pretty sure a couple gnats that were flying around even fell in. I shook the yeast liquid too vigorously and it exploded upon opening so all the yeast didn't get in and some fell off of the side of the bottle into the wort. Despite all of that...I would give this beer 6 stars if I could...it really tastes great!!

Well worth it!

I've tried several kits from other suppliers but this is the best Pale Ale I've found. Even skeptical friends were impressed!

Q: Looking at the Sierra Nevada cline, confuses by all the options to add. Does the kit not come with everything needed?

Asked by: Mark - 8/15/2020

A: our kits ship with the needed core ingredients like malt hops, extract and if needed for the recipe ,any additives or flavorings. The main add on needed, is yeast. We leave this as option so the brewer can pick and choose the brand or style of yeast of their choice. Hop steeping bags, priming sugar and bottles caps can all be added if needed but will not be included in the cost
