Steve's Kick Ass Ale

Literally made this beer with left over ingredients from other beers when I needed something to do one Sunday. Nothing terribly fancy or noteworthy about this one. Great session beer though. Very clean and very easy to drink. A favorite with the ladies. My uncle Steve tried some, having never had homebrew before, and exclaimed "This is some kick ass ale" Hence the name.
