Love the dichotomy of opinions so far. Personally I loved it. Pale Ale is nowhere near your average lager or cream flow bitter. It's hoppy and more bitter than you might be used to.  Very sessionable IMHO. People I spoke to really enjoyed it.

My brother spoke to the guy who makes it and he says that it was being kept in the fridge, which it shouldn't be, and it's a bottled conditioned beer that should be poured slowly to keep the sediment in the bottle. Most were pouring it too fast. Didn't have time to get one myself but our kid said it was good stuff.

All feedback is useful so thank you.

As others have said, as the bars were so busy I think they sometimes had to pour it really quick to get every one served. This isn't ideal for a bottle conditioned ale. The Trust have been great to work with though and am not knocking them as they do a top job with the bars.

Maybe pulling pints would be better? Anyway, thanks to those who bought it and happy to receive feedback good or bad either on here or via direct message.
