- Clean and smooth with a subtle sweetness from the corn.
I wanted to give this traditional American style a try, and it came out really well. Simple and smooth, the White Labs yeast did a great job. This was definitely popular with BMC drinkers, but interesting enough for me and my craft brew friends. Going to make a bigger batch in the spring to keep around for the summer.
