I doubt that as most punters don't know what a craft beer is, where to get it or why the big guys would be afraid of it.

Got to try it on Saturday, faint hop aroma but no hop flavor.

The beer it self was a bit watery and grainy, like theY stripped it back to the bare minimum

Brough 4 bottles in local off licence as been eager to try. I agree with some previous post it is not a true IPA like Serira Navada or Galway Hooker, but still a nice beer and I enjoyed it. I hope it sells well for them but I would not bet on it. Regular Smithwicks drinnkers are not going to change and I also cannot see regular European larger drinkers changing either

Curious to know their target market,the beer is dumbed down so as to appeal to Lager drinkers (in my opinion). Had some last week with Tube (research) and both of us agreed that you could serve it up to Heino drinkers and they would not wince.

The 30+ lager drinker is the target.

I prefer it from the bottle, but i would choose it in a pub with nothing good to drink.
A barman told me that the rep said if he pushes it enough and sells enough he may get himself an Ipad from the rep???
