MasterPint Bitter is a budget-friendly kit for an amber British session bitter - the maker calls it the perfect session beer. One 1.6kg pouch makes about 40 pints.

With a deeper amber colour and firm bitterness, it is a proper everyday ale that tastes better than its price suggests.

What's in the pouch

  • Selected liquid malt extracts
  • Varietal brewery yeast - a little slower than cheap kit yeast, but the maker says it gives a much better result
