5 of 5 Great kit! July 18, 2025
Reviewer: Christian Maphis from Montour Falls , NY United States  
I decided to lose my review virginity on Rite Brew to this beer! Rite Brew is an absolutely amazing find and a phenomenal company! I was skeptical at first but all kits are incredibly inexpensive but real decent quality when you're looking for a fast easy, consistently good brew! Now on to this frugal.. despite many Skeptics I decided to give this kit a try to see the outcome. I figured at that price I wouldn't be out anything either way! This beer is way better than what you might think! Using the Safale s-33 yeast and having an incredibly fast initial primary fermentation. Of around 16 hours this beer has ample flavor for the beer Enthusiast or newbie! Personally I feel this kit would be best labeled as a Belgian Pale Ale! Light bodied and definitely drinkable in the summer hot days but predominant flavor notes of a slight breadiness and even banana typical in a lot of belgians! Will definitely Brew this one again! Cheers everyone!

5 of 5 general RiteBrew comments April 15, 2016
Reviewer: Major Wood from Eau Claire, WI United States  
Some random guy that I met in a brewpub told me about RiteBrew.  I wish I could thank him.  Everything I buy from RiteBrew is worthy, and reasonably priced.  They even have the best bottle brush.  So, about FrugAle; I figured that I would brew this for friends that aren't necessarily attuned to the finer brews in life, the Coors Light, Bud Light, Miller Lite, blonde American lager crowd.   I just finished the second one.  This is waay better than all of that junk.  I presume it will be even tastier next weekend.  Well worth the price and the effort to brew it.

4 of 5 Better Light Beer June 13, 2015
Reviewer: Bryce from PA United States  
This beer is just as it states. Much better tasting Miller Lite. It is easy to drink a ton of this beer on a nice summer day. I would highly recommend it to anyone who has friends that are not into "hoppy" beers. Easy to brew and kegging has it ready in just a few weeks.

4 of 5 Good Price....Good Beer October 29, 2012
Reviewer: Mike from Gretna, NE United States  
Not too many kits you can purchase for $17.00 so I thought I would give it a try.  An easy drinking beer, not much flavor so it might be just the thing for your friends who like the commercial beers.
