I don't know if there is a thread somewhere in here specific to ale appreciation, but if so, Mods please merge!
I have, on one or two occasions, tried the draught version of Billericay Blonde in my, and presumably its, home town. I recall it as being OK but not special. On Sunday, my brother gave me four bottles of the same brew, which he had thought or throwing away. They were past their "best before" date of November 2014.
It's a naturally conditioned ale, and I think they may have bottled it a bit too soon! I reckon I lost about 10% to effervescence and all the yeast escaped from the bottom of the bottle and made it cloudy. However, it tastes terrific! I don't remember the draft version tasting this good.
