speaking of out of date james squires....
I just discovered a few bottles of James Squire Pepperberry Ale (Winter Limited Edition 2008) with best before March 09.
I cracked one and it had definetly lost a lot of taste and body, but was not bad. Quite easy to drink down though.
As for the Amber Ale, I cracked an old one of those and my goodness.... awful.... sweet, watery, pissy and a head which looked like washing up detergent.
I have only ever tried the one JS IPA and that was the out of date one (as per above) and did not think much of it (especially for an IPA) ... but should give another bottle a try sometime.
I really do not know why they have to add preservatives to the James Squire Beers... If they just added a clean yeast to the bottles which formed a solid sediment it would avoid the need for preservatives and wuld not make the beer cloudy.
I think it would further improve the marketing of the beer if people knew that it was a fresh, natural product. (Even Tooheys New Claims to be all natural - and preservative free)
