I will tell you my gateway to IPA was Dogfish Head 60 minute IPA, 90 is excellent too, but is 9% so will be worlds away from a kolsch or a cream ale. I used to hate IPA’s before I tried those.

I guess I’m looking for an IPA I like.
A beer drinking neighbor suggested All Day IPA Session Ale.
I plan to pick some up today. Said it is low on hops or bitterness.
I like brew_cat’s idea of tweaking hops in my cream ale. Get to try things without straying too far from my comfort zone.
I guess I’m strange, I liked bitter beer from the outset. Well, I like pretty much all beer
I have two good friends who started out liking only malty beers…and gradually I corrupted them to the dark side. Now they are certified hop hounds.
Well there you go… get the cream ale basic’s down to yer taste… Then add hops at the last 5 minutes or less…
Then do another batch and add them at flame out (FO)… And another were the kettle has cooled to 170*F, put in the hops to steep and see what you end up with…
Perhaps you’ll be upping yer brewing and imbibing… looking for yer flavorite!

Cue up the “relative bitterness” discussion. LOL I find All Day pretty hoppy and although not overly bitter, it’s there. That being said, I like it and they’ve sold a crap ton of it. Enjoy!
OK, it’s Founder’s All Day IPA Session Ale. Just what I was looking for in taste and hop/bitterness. The bitterness is there, but not pushing all other tastes aside.
Now, to find a kit or recipe to match it will be a challenge. I welcome your help here.
Spoke too soon. Since, I googled All Day kits and found “Homebrew” kits offering one in Founder’s All Day IPA… I should be good to go.
Thanks for helping guys.
Ive always enjoyed Founders offerings, good choice
At one time, I thought founders offered their brews in a kits from their web…

The All Day IPA is called a session beer but is 4.7 ABV. Most commercial beers are about 5 so drinking it “all day” might not work out
Could be, not sure. I know bells brewing Company has a homebrew shop inside the Kalamazoo brewpub.
Yes, Bells sells their brews in a kit…
