Smithwick's Pale Ale 14 years 4 months ago #164

dempsey Offline Posts: 1207	Was out meeting some people for a drink here in Celbridge,and of course the beer choice is from the usual suspects. I sat drinking SPA and have decided that I will give this beer 12 months. If it did have a hop aroma once,it dies off very quickly once the keg is opened and all you have is an ale pretending to be a lager.

dempsey Offline Posts: 1207	Managed to avoid the hangover by drinking some water when I came home. Actually the head on this beer last night was strange,my wife commented that it looked more like washing up liquid than a normal beer head. I wonder what they are using to create a head on this. <!-- s:?: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_question.gif" alt=":" title="Question" /><!-- s:?: -->

Well now,I am sticking to my 12 month prophecy,in a pub here in Celbridge occupied Diageo land,the SPA tap is dry and will not go wet again. The barman said that I should drink Carlie instead of Heino as it does not give you a headache <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /> and <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_surprised.gif" alt="" title="Surprised" /> .
note to Diageo,who is your target market,do you even know.
Is it CRAFT beer drinkers,no they have plenty of choice in real craft beer.
Is it Lager drinkers,no they believe in the biggest advert budgets,i.e. it will make them a better rugby pundit or beleive that Liverpool play better.
