This was one of the first kits that I made - brewed to 23 litres with 1.7kg dextrose (didn't have a clue what I was doing). After 2 weeks in the FV, 2 weeks to carbonate and 3 weeks cold-conditioning it was pretty great. I say specifically after 3 weeks cold-conditioning because, once I had started learning what I was doing with brewing, I assumed it was going to be rat piss, so just drank it along the way having a pint every few days. Initially it was consumable straight from the FV. But, after 7 weeks in total, it got very good - if a little thin.
Today I am about to bottle the second batch - brewed to 20l with 500g medium DME and 1kg dextrose. SG 1053 FG 1008 5.9%. Tastes very drinkable already. Big thumbs-up to Wilko.
