This is a terrible photo stolen from flickr, and I like it because the glass is exactly wrong kind of glass for this kind of beer. Anyway, this is one of those beers that you mindlessly put into your basket only to discover it is damn expensive at the checkout (at least in Whole Check Foods, where things are even more expensive than usual). Either way, the beer is quite good, it has a distinctly British character and it is a nice refreshment from the hoppy madness of local American beers. I got an unexpected proustian flashback of my times in England. A very mellow, somewhat sweet taste, balanced to the level you don't really notice anything in particular, a slighly bitter taste and a then an easy Sunday afternoon tipsiness.
UPDATE:
Ok, the owner of the photo has contacted me and is upset about me stealing the pic and saying it is terrible! I now linked the pic to the original source and want to stress that comments were not meant to be derisive but rather playful: I do like the photo! Really!

Terrible picture or not, proper glassware or not, please do not steal my picture.
If you'd like to include it in your blog (derisive comments as they may be), please link it to the original.

By the way, I've recently purchased a couple dozen different styles of beer glasses. Once I have my spare room (AKA studio) back, I'm going to set up a new configuration for beer pix.
Perhaps I'll actually get some good shots in the near future!
