Fun review.
So a decade ago I was taking a blind tasting of ten beers to see if I would be allowed to bartend at a place with 83 different draught taps. The manager administering the test was getting annoyed because I was guessing some beers before tasting them by appearance only and getting them right. So he had me taste the rest. I got to some brown swill, smelled it and said Al, this beer is sour. Just drink it. So I did. It wasn't sour, it was just Newcastle.
I refer to it as British Sewer Water. God what happened? America couldn't brew three decent ales for forty years and the Limeys and Belgians made stuff that was so great to our pallets. Now we brew the cleanest, boldest, most imaginative brews and the Germans and Belgians are stealing our ideas. And the Limeys? They are just sad and unaware their brewing reputation was tired a decade ago.
MMM, better beer will be in the mail on Thursday. Just say no to clear bottles and clueless muppets!
Still loved your review. I took a whiff of my boxers. Yep, that is the Newcastle smell. Thames River/Sewer water. Oh tell Reality.... Nah, nevermind, that board just annoys me. Why do I check it? Oh yeah, I'm a masochist.
Cheers Old Boy!

Good story, man. Yep, I'm now positively sure that Newcastle is one smelly-ass brew.
