Yes this is a ramp and I seldom ramp LOL - as indicated, before Xmas I stated I would try some different beers if the Offtake was good to my beloved VB. Reporting to date most beers I have had have been crap, but I have just had a James Squire 150 lashes pale ale and it ain't bad (but still not as good as VB). Can't wait to this weeks over LOL to get back to what I know best, albeit stuff it today's price action requires a long neck drunk. All IMO
