Rated having never tasted the original, I can only go off my finished beer. It’s exquisite and the yeast is a proper beast. It fermented aggressively, cleanly and boy was it active for a long while. I harvested enough for 10+ more brews with it.

This just a stunning brew. It is without a doubt one of the best I have tasted. Will have to buy more as my brother and friends drank me dry before I had a look in! Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍

This is an outstanding kit. It’s a beer I love when in the US so thought I’d give it a go despite not normally using kits. It is delicious and the hop pellets have done an amazing job with the aroma in particular. The yeast was active very quickly and seemed to keep up the activity for longer than yeasts I’ve used in the past. I’ll be ordering another kit to keep stocked up.

Another fantastic IPA. I ended up with a few more litres than planned and it’s none the worse for it. Lovely hoppy flavour. Three week bottle conditioning and a couple of days in the fridge before I tried it tonight and very happy. I will be making this again.

A truly amazing beer my favourite to date! Brewed to 23l instead of 19, but still ended up with the same OG. Can’t recommend this highly enough, made up a 2L starter and chucked that in and it took off like a rocket. I’ve just purchased my second one 🙃 because it’d be rude not too.

Fantastic beer. Have had three of these and each time it has come out as one of my most succesful brews. Clean, hoppy and incredibly tasty. Have had friends beg me to buy the finished product from me but I’m not letting it go…it’s too good!

After 2 years homebrewing this has easily been my best ever brew. The beer is just delicious to the point I plan to bottle some from my keg to share with some friends.
I will be brewing this again very soon
This recipe will not disappoint

This is my second ever brew, thanks Dominic, Every glass I still say I can’t believe I have made something this good. Its is the best home brew I have tasted, has everything you could want from an IPA and more. If in doubt, just get it, you wont be disappointed I am sure.
