* Homebrewering: Stage Beer!

I got a little impatient and cracked a bottle open on Monday. Inside I found a liquid not unlike beer! Success!

Opening the first bottle

Beer!

Below are the enthusiastic responses from my first test subjects. Reactions ranged from “This tastes like wet dog.” to “Why are you in my kitchen?”

Tastey

Taste Testing

Note: this beer did not cause Kelsey’s stye. I’m not really sure why I took a picture of that.

The beer was good, though. It was slightly sweet, not very bitter/hoppy at all, and it had a mouthfeel that made if feel a little thicker than it was. Supposedly with a few weeks in the bottle it should clarify and age. This is supposed to improve the quality a lot, but I’m too impatient to let that happen. I already packaged up a case to take with me to a housewarming party in Colorado this weekend. Home beer for home warming, it’s just too good to pass up.
