It tastes like that-it'll settle down in another two weeks but i prefer it before it gets to a month. It loses it's edge then, i like the citrus notes.

Forget Caffreys mate-it's nitrogen charged so you'll produce nothing like it with kits unless you want to spend loads on kegs and nitrogen. Try Muntons Nut Brown Ale-it makes newky taste like the ***** it is i reckon. I'd do that kit over any other kit i've done. :thumb:
