First Taste....Not too bad at all!

Technically I have another week of conditioning, but I had to sample one. Very nice carbonation. Smells a little sweet. Taste is good. I was pleasantly surprised. From what I have read another week will fix the sweetness. My wife was drinking our usual Coors light so I did a little side by side. The Mr Beer has much more carbonation, the Coors was pretty "watery" compared. I am looking forward to another week. I have my second batch, American Blonde, fermenting now.
All in all, I am very pleased so far. Look forward to trying different brews and techniques. This forum is a great place to gain knowledge and I appreciate any tips or advice.
Thanks!

I told my wife that as well. I think I said "I made this!!" about five times before I got the evil eye. i think she got the picture  Pretty cool intro to homebrew. Looks like I have a new hobby.
