yeah its terrible stuff. Saw it on tap at corks in notl and thought id give it a try. The waitor told me it was a bitter and he thought it was good. Upon getting it i was saddened by the no2 and lack of any flavor. Ill never try that stuff again.

drinking a cider with a little malt and hops. I added 2lbs light dme and steeped 10 ounces 60l crystal malt. Also added 1/2 ounce sazz hops for 40 min boil. Turned out pretty good. Definetly getting better the longer it sits. I has been a month since bottling and just now i am enjoying it fully.
