Unlike our India Pale Ale, which is in the British style of India Pale Ale, our American IPA is an aggressively styled hopped ale with a pronounced hop character and fragrant hop aroma. This kit has a strong, complex hop character created by four fresh hop additions during the boil. For fans of our Triple Hopped Ale, our American IPA has a less caramelized malt flavor, and a different hopping schedule that is more minty than floral. Alcohol: 4.9%, IBU's 80.

Includes 8 pounds of blended malt extract, 4 flavoring hop additions, 125 ml of liquid yeast, and corn sugar for carbonation. Makes 5 gallons with a starting gravity of at least 1.053. Ease of Brewing: Beginner

Great IPA

Just opened my first bottle last night and this beer rocks!   Strong hop flavor really stand out.   Will definately be brewing this again soon.

Great First Beer

This has been the best beer we've made. I found a bottle five months later and it was like Christmas. Great bold IPA flavor without the nasty bite.

Just Perfect!

This was the first brewing experience for my wife and me and it was perfect. I invited friends to taste test against the IPA from our local micro-brewery and the Williams IPA was the favored beer! It was easy to brew and it is a beer I am proud to serve to friends and family.

The ale by which I measure all others

This is the ale that hits the mark for me and I keep coming back to when I try other recipes.  I think it is excellent. If you want an even fresher hoppy taste (without dry hopping), simply add the final hops additional after the boil is done.

Excellent IPA

This is the best American style IPA kit that I have brewed to date.  After 3 weeks in the bottle, I just enjoyed my first few from this batch.  After my second one, I hopped on-line and ordered 2 more kits from WB....fully knowing that the rest of this batch will not be around long.  Nice color, good fragrance and great hop taste.  I will definitely brew another one with the recipe, but might choose to increase the hop content on the other.  Enjoy.
