Has anyone recently bought any of the HBC Full Extract kits?
http://www.thehomebrewcompany.co.uk/extract-beer-kits-c-164.html

If so, did they come with unbranded liquid malt as in the pictures, or Mangrove Jacks liquid malt pouches?

I've had a number of these kits in the past, and they came with Mangrove Jacks liquid malt. I also made up my own brews with the unbranded liquid malt shown in the pictures, and they weren't very good. Their unbranded liquid malt is discussed here and the general opinion is that it isn't very good.

I'm keen to order some more kits, but won't if they've switched to that unbranded liquid malt.
