So the 'exotic' nature of it may inform part of my enjoyment. Secondly, taste is taste! I'd be surprised if everyone rated it; that would be too simple! I've enjoyed it in the past, yes. It is simple; but it's that aspect that I actually rate. I'm sure quality could vary, as with all beers.Leighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05512660051158275112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38739054.post-73435208460010320822011-06-02T17:32:45.396+01:002011-06-02T17:32:45.396+01:00This was a great event last year and well worth a ...This was a great event last year and well worth a visit if you are in the area.

But on the other hand you clearly rate it and Pete Brown included it in his Top 50 in the Morning Advertiser.
