can't speak for the kit, but if you are doing all grain...I made this up last summer, and in a side-by-side with a real DGA, my recipe could have passed as the real thing. it was actually just a tad sweeter and clearer (somehow), but the flavors and body were nearly identical. 2 out of 3 testers picked the homebrew as the commercial version!
