My first concoction from scratch



I will call it my recession amber ale.  I was trying to see what I could come up with if I kept the cost of ingredients between $20-$30.  Any idea what I have just created (besides beer)?  Any suggestions on how to improve it.  Oh by the way, I like it.  Will definitely brew it or something an awful lot like it again.

6.5 lbs of amber extract syrup
8 oz of crystal 120
3/4 oz of northern brewer (bittering)
1/2 oz of centenial (flavoring)
1/4 oz of czech saaz (aroma)
and safale us 05 yeast.
3/4 cup of priming sugar

My OG was 1.044 and FG 1.010.

10 day in primary.  The bottled.



 

Looks tasty! How did the color turn out for you with the .5# c120? Approaching brown, or did the amber hold up?
