American Pale Ale I

This brew was made to introduce people who normally drink Miller/Budweiser to homebrew. It has more malt flavor than they were accustomed to, but the general consensus was that it was alright. From my perspective, it was one of the few beers where I've killed the Corny keg within a month. Excellent summer/session beer. The recipe came from Greg over at BevArt Homebrew Supply.

1 lb Laaglander light dry malt extract (DME)
