Has to be my Brupaks Almondbury Old I purchased for £19.95

My first brew that did not have that sweet tang I seem to get from kits, that cleared to a beautiful dark amber colour and one that I was happy to take to a fellow brewers house to compare beers.

Hops Pellets boiled in Wort for 10 min
No extra's added , used supplied yeast
Came out at just below the specified ABV around 4.4% I seem to remember, but that was good for me
Primed with DME
Left for about 14 days, I was getting desperate, just finished the last pint

8/10 for taste ( I prefer a darker beer but this has beaten all my porter/dark mild kit efforts so far)
10/10 for colour and apperance
