Initial bottles were very fizzy but with little to no head-retention. However the first few bottles were taken from the bottom of the fermenter and were heavy on sediment.
The rest of the bottles have been getting better each week.
Last night the brew got it's first official public outing, complete with custom labels!

The drinks went down a storm at a friend's birthday party and the labels proved particulary impressive.

The recycled Grolsch bottles really looked the part as well. The picture above doesn't really show the colour of the brew, it's quite a golden-yellow colour, similar to a Heineken or any similar lager, if a little cloudier.
All in all, I was very happy with the Cooper's Home Brew Kit and now that I know how to homebrew, I will definitely continue. Perhaps a cider next time.
