Draught in the brewpub. Unfortunately this example was slightly infected, but underneath the lactic acid there was a rich malty brew with lots of hops and bitterness fighting to get out; shame it wasn’t on form as I might have liked this, so it gets a decent mark as I could see it’s potential.

UPDATED: FEB 1, 2007 Draught at the brewpub. Cloudy golden, small creamy head. Lemony nose. Light bodied with soft creamy mouthfeel. The distinct lemon flavour almost makes it seem like an intentional lemon beer, but I guess it isn’t. The delicate creamy malt together with a low hop rate could have made this a fine beer, if it wasn’t for the lemon. An unpretentious beer with some potential, just as this bar would’ve been a great place to drink and it if they just could get the toilets to work...
