“Session Lager” a.k.a. “vaguely beer-flavoured water” – which I wouldn’t necessarily have an issue with, mind you, but there’s a sulphur note that grows on warming. The obvious solution, of course, is to crush it before it warms. It’s not terrible or anything, but it wouldn’t break my heart to never have another one of these. (13/20)
