Mom's Bud Clone 2.0
Brew date: 3/18/10. My first lager, and it's a Budweiser clone!?!? Well, it's a mother's day gift for (who else) my mom, who has been an Anheuser-Busch devotee for some decades now. I'll update with tasting notes in a few months to let you know how close I got -- if someone ever finds themselves in the same strange situation: I need to brew a bud.
