Is it possible to produce a clean crisp beer out of a kit?
Most of the amber kits I have tried result in a very "homebrewy" flavour. Last one I made (canadian blonde) tasted worse then VB, and gave me a headache to boot. The homebrand Draught can I made has a really nasty aftertaste, I would say its a perfumie hop, but it ruins the beer as the body is not too bad.
I have just put down a morgans lager kit + 1kg LME and it comes with Mauri 514 ale yeast, hopefully it will be a start of good things to come.
the BIAB method sounds like the next step in the hunt for good beer, but for the time being finances only allow for kits, maybe santa might buy me an urn.
