At 6 months the hops aroma and such will have deteriorated significantly
I drank it 6 months ago, the bottle wasn't 6 months old. In fact the beauty of the place I had it (La Cerveteca in Barcelona) is their high stock turnover, so it should have been relatively fresh.
It was pricey, and not very impressive.

I can't believe Ruddles County was viewed so favourably. I believe "skunky mank" is the apt technical descriptor. And I'm very surprised people gave such low rankings to 1698.
What's the next one on?[/quote:x5cvv8nq]
I thought the score for London Pride was a bit low too. I'm quite fond of Ruddles skunky mank though.
