Help with first beer kit

[110ben]

I have been a member for a while and make loads of wine but not done beer yet.
To be fair I am not a big beer drinker but maybe that is because I don't much like the fizzy flavorless stuff i tend to drink.
I have tried a few supermarket craft beers and I particularly liked Sharp's Wolf Rock red. I tried brewdog punk ipa which i found way to citrusee for me.
As a general beer from before i would go for Peroni or Asahi Japanese beer.
I like to drink cold beer and i have 2 brew fridges in my shed for temp control.
Any advice on a first kit would be much appreciated.
As far as price is concerned I tend to pay around £30 for wine kits so price is not really an issue but flavor and ease of brewing are my first concerns. Thanks in advance

One of the Festival Lagers? I've only ever done one of their kits, The Weiss that I bottled on 24/05/18 and that's coming along very nicely.

Thanks Larryf I was kind of drawn to their kits and have read a number of good reviews

Peroni and asahi aren't three most flavoursome beers in my opinion (although I do want to make a Japanese rice lager at some point).

My suggestion might be st Peter's golden ale - You can grab a bottle from the supermarket to see if you like it then brew the kit. As a beer, it's pretty accessible but has more flavour than a commercial lager.

Thanks Bezza that sounds like a good move :cheers7:

If you like Wolf Rock Red, you could try the St Peters Ruby Red kit. As Bezza suggests, you can buy a bottle of the commercial version at some supermarkets to try first.
There is also the Youngs Red India Ale - but don't use all the hops if you don't like Punk. I would try perhaps 20% to 30% of the hops supplied if you don't like hoppy beers. If you make it up to the 36 pints and use all of the supplied hops, it is a bit of a hop bomb.
Or perhaps try one of the Bulldog more traditional British beers like Penine Peak of Triple Tyke. The Brupaks Pride of Yorkshire range is also a good range of more traditional British beers

Thanks Pavros
I need to build up a supply of bottles so i had better try a few more commercial beers and then decide
