This is the first kit that I started with and have made it a few times. Very close clone to the commercially brew. http://www.barleynvine.com/kb017.html

I've brewed the kit by Northern Brewer a few times. To my palate it is nearly the same, but with more body.
Remember that Killians is a lager, and not really an "Irish red" (which is an ale) so if you want to exactly copy Killians, it'd be a red colored lager, not an Irish red.

+1 vote on the Northern Brewer kit. I went to my local bottle shop and bought singles of six diff reds. After brewing the NB kit it tasted closest to Killians

THIS. My first Extract Kit was a Red Ale, and bought it thinking it'd taste like Killians. Finally dawned on me after I bought it, but it was still pretty darn good.
Had my first pint of this brew with a friend....
We both agreed- this better than a pint of killians!!
Little more body and great taste...
I would recommend it.

Kudos to the guys at Barley and vine- they where great it answering a couple of questions!!!

I have the NB Irish Red bottle conditioning right now. I've had a couple of "test" bottles so far, and they're pretty good. Planning on moving them to the fridge next week.

I'm glad you liked the clone kit. I have enjoyed making it a few times. Goes down real easy and great flavor.
Did you bottle or keg? I made the same kit two weeks ago and kegged it.
Oh the waiting.
