Introducing Light Mode! If you would like a Bar Towel social experience that isn't the traditional blue, you can now select Light Mode. Go to the User Control Panel and then Board Preferences, and select "Day Drinking" (Light Mode) from the My Board Style drop-down menu. You can always switch back to "Night Drinking" (Dark Mode). Enjoy!

That's odd. I've never had even a mild sour note in Abyss before. But I also haven't had the 2014 yet. Will have to give it a try soon.liamt07 wrote:Had one a few weeks back and noted the same.
