Sometimes my ideas fall a bit short, but I will not let my imagination be hindered by failures. This one I call Kiwi West was a cheap way to brew a beer with Kiwi without using actual kiwi. Yeah I have made this kind of mistake before but the failure though was not I believe using kiwi strawberry flavoring but also using kool-aide strawberry kiwi mix. Yeah I know - what were you thinking Ben!! Well the resulting beer came out super sweet. It would probably be good mixed with lemonade or something like that aka Shandy but by itself not so much.
Anyways here is the receipe -
