I am thinking about brewing the Almondbury Old kit.
Just wondered if anyone has tried this kit and what they thought?

Do it. If you like Wychwood beers you'll enjoy this one - like a cross between Hobgoblin and Goliath. A really nice pint, I've only kegged it so I don't know how it is bottled though. Half way down my third batch
