Summer "medium" ale

Post by PaulStat » Tue Jun 16, 2009 9:41 am

I've been asked to brew an Ale for my future father in law, the only specs he has is that he wants a "medium" summer ale, so I presume he wants a lightish 4.something % beer. Any really tasty recipes out there you guys would recommend?

It has to be flavoursome but not too bitter
