Any of you chaps in the US had a chance to try this yet?

It looks like a nice beer, although I have my doubts about corn syrup and
gypsum in the recipe.
the corn sugar is for priming (giving the yeast something to eat to carbonate
the beer after bottling), and is pretty normal; gypsum is usually something
that depends on the water you are using, when you want to match the original
brewer's water; if you start with hard water i'd skip the gypsum
slightly worrying, but not a serious problem, are the malt extract and the hop
pellets; these are usually considered cheap shortcuts
(i am at best a "homebrewer's helper", but i have typeset and proofread many a
homebrew recipe)
