Phil (President, New York City Homebrewers Guild)They taste like the store-bought stuff... even better. The recipes in this book really do come out tasting like the store bought versions of these beers (but homebrew is always better than the stale old store-bought stuff). Each recipe gives a brief description of the beer so you can read about different beers, then sample the brewery version of any that appeal to you and see if you like it enough to make 5 gallons of it. I have even won several competition medals brewing these recipes. There is a good reference section with specifications on beer styles and brewing ingredients (including grains, sugars and extracts, hops and yeast). Highly recommended. Also check out "Beer Captured" by the same authors.
