Moving to the light side

[Scooby]

The last time I brewed a kit was 1977 and think it is time to move to the light side so I'm
asking all the experts here for a kit recommendation. (I'm not a fan of Stout or Lager)

So tell me the kit that you think showcases all that is great in kit brewing.

Cheers

For me - Munton's Premium Smugglers Ale. Delicious. Two cans, no sugar, chuck in the yeast. Lovely.

I'm still trying to find a kit that tastes nicer than the Geordie Scottish Export, I mean, it's so normal!!
Why can't my favourite kit beer so far be something ludicrously expensive or difficult to get a hold of?!?

[Scooby]

Wooha so many to choose from

There's not as many kit brewers here as as I thought

Thanks to you guys for the suggestions

I sometimes think people are a bit too worried to put their name to something that could turn out shite

Yeah, then I'd be round complaining and asking for my money back

I've got little to lose so I'm going to give the Scottish Export a try

Edit.Penrith is a long way from lambourn.

At the risk of being contraversial,have you thought about trying woodfords wherry? Recent postings would suggest Muntons have cured the dreaded sticking problem with this kit and will now ferment out. This was the first kit i did and although it stuck the flavour was something else,will defo be trying it again

As a fellow newbie I'd second the Wherry. Very nice!

[Scooby]

Looks like I will have to try two kits then

Can't believe I'm actually about to say this but .....

As ye specified ye not a Stout drinker (and nor am I a Lager man) I have to, hand on heart, admit that the dreaded Muntons, IF they really and truly Have sorted their shit to a blanket kits ....?

Wherry Is an absolute belter. It's a brew I'd hand to anyone, without even asking what they favour, and would expect a favourable verdict. On 'Taste' that is. The brew I did was yummy. It just lacked Everything in the poke department, having stuck fast.

Also, I tried their " London Dockland Porter ", which they describe as 'A Real Thirst Quencher'. Absolutely spot on! It too stuck like a limpet. But, regardless, I'd consider that a brew of which a hard worked and knackered man Could sink a few pints, without then feeling inspired to beat the wife!

It's got the most appealing, reddish tone to it. And it really does slip down like some rather moreish new soft drink. Which is funny because, to me, 'Porter' has always spelled a winter drink, the blacker side of red.

Assured of some 'benefit' of drinking them, I'd be willing to try them both again.
