This brew was really easy to follow. This was my first batch from More beer and I was impressed. I left in primary for a week and dry hopped for a week in secondary. This beer is my go to pale ale at the moment. Has nice hops and slight bitterness.

This is an excellent IPA type of ale. Easy drinking, well liked by a number of people who tried it. One person who tried said it was very close to the original (I have never tried it, so can't say). Would like to make this again.

The second batch of this came out just as delightful as the first. I appreciate the combination of lower alcohol and great flavor. I've never had the original, but then again I am purchasing very few beers now that I am 25 batches into MoreBeer. I just got on to order a third kit. You can't go wrong at this price!

I brewed this kit and shared it with several other home brewers. We all love it but it did not come out the same as the real deal when we compared. The real Bitter American is more bitter and a great smack of hops to your taste buds. It is a great Session Ale.

My OG was really light for some reason, so I gave it a little bump with some corn sugar - and as a result I probably have a dry'er flavor than intended. Regardless - it yielded a really tasty session brew. Slightly sweet and malty when cold - the hops will really start to come out as it warms - typical of this style. As much as I liked it, the 90 minute boil was a bit tedious, and I prefer MoreBeer's ObSession kit (not a fair comparison really).

A daily, go to recipe.

This beer turned out great! It's light amber-gold with a fizzy head. The hoppy bitterness coats the tongue and is the primary flavor, but it is not overpowering at all. My only addition was Cascade Thai Ginger Candi syrup that I added with 20 minutes left in the boil. This provided a tingling spiciness to the finish that was subtle, but definitely enhanced the flavor.

I'll add my 5 star review to the others. I live in Florida and can only buy this beer in cans when I visit my daughter in NC. So I decided to brew my own. It turned out very well. After a week in the keg at 11 psi, my wife helped me do a blind taste test with the real thing (same serving temperature). I identified my home brew mainly because it tasted fresher and tastier, but it was very close. It's not super hoppy, but it's nice and bitter. And very close to the real thing.

Despite brewing for nearly 6 years now, this is my first bitter. What an excellent brew. the kit resulted in a pale brew with beautiful hop aroma and strong but not over powering bitter taste. I have only had it in the bottle for 2 weeks, but already it is a great session beer. Highly recommended!

I live in Arizona and we can't get 21st Amendment beers here. But when I was introduced to them while traveling to California and Minnesota, I was amazed at just how fantastic Bitter American is. Granted, it's been a little while since I've cracked a can of the real stuff, but the beer brewed with this kit is everything I remember! Mine came out around 4.7%, very hop-forward, sweet nose from the malt and the west coast hops. I love this beer and will be ordering again.

One of my favorite beers from one of my favorite brewpub! One sip and your transported to 2nd street! Great recipe, true to the brew! Pick this one up.

Love this beer, and the recipe is easy to work with. Good hoppy, low acohol session beer. More please!

VERY similar to the actual beer, I found. It's a light, not-too-bitter bitter brew. Slightly sweet but with a good flavor, and light enough to go down real easy in the summer. Beware - even though it's low ABV, if you drink a few it'll sneak up on you!Brewed this for a wedding and received quite a bit of positive feedback. Crowd favorite!

I ordered the Bitter American becuase I was looking for a lower alcohol "IPA" that me and my friends could sit around and really drink on. This was the perfect kit. Beer had a good amount of hop aroma and flavor but wasn't so big that we could only drink 1 or 2 beers. True session beer! What I didn't realize was that I would be in the Concord area on business just a few weeks later and would have the opportuniy to visit the MoreBeer store. The guys at MoreBeer are really great people. I asked for a couple of stickers to decorate my beer fridge with and they were more than happy to oblige. They actually went to the wharehouse to grab me a few that were'nt on display in the case up front. Thanks for not only what you guys do but how you do it. Viva La MoreBeer!
