Yes, liquid extract can darken. Yes, it could be mislabeled.
If you can find it, I'd recommend Briess pilsner DME. I made a pilsner with it that came out a beautiful yellow color.

ive actually made this , it turned out pretty well , and it was darker than the other kits ive done.

it turned out pretty well.

That's the most important thing.

Not a bad kit - Ive made them a few times, both as intended and as bases for kit mods. As it goes, it's at the darker end of lager style beers and comes supplied with ale yeast, so if you ferment as directed it'll turn out as a golden ale.

If you want it to be it's namesake, 2 packs of lager yeast and ferment @12 degrees
