Came out nice and fluffy but wouldn't brown. Or at least I just took them out after waiting 15 minutes for them to bake. Just like those biscuits you find at the mexican restaurants. Smelt like the beer and left slight after tastes tho. Maybe it was just the german beer i had lying around the house for the onion ring batter. A bit stronger than your average beer.

I'm trying to be nice, but this was the worst recipe that I have ever tried. I followed it exactly, and they came out salty and hard, with a terrible taste. We had to throw them out. Definatly not like other biscuits we have had.

I made this again, and again they're excellent. If yours are too hard, perhaps you used too much flour? They need to be a little sticky when you cut them. I went easy on the flour when cutting too. I wonder if it's the choice of shortening too... I used Crisco's no trans fat (the green can). They are not hard at all, though they are not "brown". These are the best I've tried. I did put some cornmeal on my pizza stone just in case of sticking. These are really great.

It wasn't very good. The texture was fine but the flavor was kind of bland. Maybe if I used a different kind of beer. I used the only beer I had in the house, Guinness.

This was a great recipe. I liked the slight beer taste to the biscuits. They were moist and fluffy. Definately a keeper.

These were good but nothing really special. Easy to make, but just lacked the flavor I was expecting. Might make again...was nice for a dinner biscuit.

The only reason I gave this recipe four stars is because they didn't rise quite as much as I would have liked. Otherwise they were light, flaky and delicious. I tried them with chicken and gravy and as breakfast with honey and jam. This recipe is a keeper

I enjoyed the ease, flavor and texture of these biscuits. Next time I am going to try baking them touching each other in a 9inch round cake pan and brush them with melted butter for more color.

These are great biscuits to dunk in soup! They have a mild, but noticeable beer taste. My family loved these with clam chowder. Not a fluffy biscuit, but very delicious.

This is an excellent recipe! Instead of beer, I used a Scottish Ale, and served these marvelous biscuits with blue cheese. It made an excellent appetizer. One tip to avoid hard biscuits: Make sure you follow the directions and preheat the oven to 450 degrees and do not over knead the dough. These biscuits will come out nice flakey, and savory.

Very easy to make. I will make them again, but will use less beer than the recipe calls for. My family thought the taste was a little too strong, but gobbled them down nonetheless.

Awesome smell when cooking! Also makes fantastic pizza crust! Just use a generous amount of flour when rolling out! Use lite beer, any brand as it all tastes the same when baked, for a few less calories. The biscuts that taste great... AND less filling! Big Scott
