It's brewed from malted barley so you can imagine what it tastes like...I also be a zoider drinkr, what with my WestCountry heritage. Partial to a glass of mead too, but it's hard to find in large quantities around here. Anyone who has mead recommendations should leave a message after the EOF.

My dictionary defines beer as "an alcoholic drink made by fermentation, in which the yeast settles to the bottom, from malted barley flavoured with hops." So I would imagine that the beer you mention tastes like . . . beer. -- Alec McKenzie usenet@<surname>.me.uk
