Pawinedude follow what Wade says about that Banana/Pineapple, do not leave it in the bucket or you could loose the whole batch!
I have that kit as well and also bottled in June/July, (forget without my records), but I agree with the rest.... taste is pretty good out of the carboy, but I added extra K-meta to mine right before bottling, so I let it rest in the bottle for a few months, and it seems to be as good now as it was when I bottled.
I have noticed that most of the "Ready to drink immediately" wines taste better a month or so after bottling (Bottle Shock), but this one seems to be an exception as I can tell much difference even after a few months..... but my friends still enjoy it.
I believe it was a bigger hit when temps were in the 80's versus now when the temps are in the 40's, it is a lighter wine cooler style and just seems to be better enjoyed outside in the evening around a campfire with lots of good friends... IMO
