Ed received Mr. Beer from Eric and Kim for his birthday. He carefully studied the instructions and suggestions and went about sterilizing the equipment and making his first batch of beer.

Several weeks later, the beer was poured into bottles to carbonate.

Then, last weekend, it was time to test the brew.

It looks like beer. It smells like beer...

It is beer! A nice little pale ale. Not very hoppy and a bit on the sweet side, so I think it's great. The brewmaster is planning to go hoppier next time.
