A variation on a successful brew kit originally purchased from Home Brew West in Henderson. Changed this one to include some Vienna malt, and also switched out American hops for some full flavoured Nelson hops. Emphasis on hop forward additions. Good colour and body, Not overly bitter, but strong hop forward flavours. Good body and mouth feel.
