For my debut brew, I decided to go simple, and get one of the very basic Mr Beer recipes. My favorite commercial beer is Newcastle Brown Ale, but my favorite beer I've ever had was at a little pub outside of London. It didn't have a name, it was just the house brew. It was golden brown, with little carbonation, and was delicious. So one of my goals for brewing my own beer is to re-create that ale.
I bottled this too soon, and opened it too soon. (The curse of the novice homebrewer!)
This brew never really mellowed: always had an edge, sharp cidery flavor and crisp, biting carbonation.
