This is a great basic brown ale. The boys at work actually fight over the remaining bottles. It is moderately bitter (28 IBU) if you do a full wort boil, less so if you use a smaller boil volume. Alcohol is calculated at 4.8%. This recipe could be an all extract by substituting a second can of syrup in place of the 2-row grain.
