Tasting: | Oh-My-God!! This beer was a hit! I could have sold this stuff. I gave out several bottles to some of my Army friends, most of who had no experience with Home Brew products, and they were in shock after they tasted it. Even my fellow home-brewers, who have much more exprience than I enjoyed the beer! Will attempt to duplicate next year!!! |
