Hmph. Friday night was supposed to be about enjoying a few nice beers. But I bought four for my partner and I to share, and somehow three were off...
First was ELB oatmeal porter. Thin, lacking in body, tasted and smelled of vinegar. Also no head retention. Second and third were both London Fields (hackney hopster and love not war); both lacking in the expected hop characters and with awful carb.
I kept tasting notes as they were really not good, and went back to the shop to ask for a refund/ exchange. The shop seemed to mock me for caring ("are you a wine expert") [eh?] And then blamed me for the fact that they weren't going to do anything ("its your fault") [eh?!] And then kicked me out.
Ffs. Craft beer is sold on the basis that it tastes good and people should value this feedback. Instead I feel like an ass for caring. What a disaster.
