Just thought that I would update this brew, as a fair bit of time has past since it was brewed, and I had the last bottle the other day.

It is a brew that was definitely very good early on, but the summit hop flavour gradually faded away, just leaving a very faint citrus bitterness that didn't sit too well with the kit flavour underneath.

Maybe Summit was a bit too one dimensional for this particular kit, maybe I should have just quaffed it quicker. I had originally assumed that this kit was going to be a Sundew in disguise, but it certainly wasn't.

Not sure what to do with the other tin, might try turning it into an English IPA :-k :idea:

Cheers
