Been to 2 1st Choice this weekend and both had TTL. $8 a 500ml bottle. Was told by a staff member that it would be a regular.

Cheers Brad

It's a pity you guys will be using the bottled version as a benchmark, It's allright but as Bribie says, nowhere near the stuff out of a well kept cask!

Having said that, must buy a bottle ...in the name of research...

I just cracked my first ever bottle and I gotta say I'm leaving towards Bribie's suspicions being correct here. It is a fine beer but I'm seeing nothing that deserves a following such as it gets. There are a great many local English style pales it's equal.

I ordered a carton of TTL into the Bundy first choice and was champing at the bit to get some down my neck. Was disapointed with the first one but knew I had served it way too cold. Let the next few warm up and although I enjoyed them but was not overwhelmed. Had the British complexity but lacked the wow factor. I think BribieG is correct and that a trip to the UK is in order to do some real research.

FYI a carton (12 x 500ml bottles) was $80.

You can tell by the lack of sweating on the outside of this glass it is not too cold.

Good to see I wasn't alone in thinking that its a good beer but didnt deserve the....................blah blah blah. But it was nice.

For what it's worth, Grain and Grape in Yarraville had a few bottles for $7.50 a week or 2 ago. I tried it straight out of the fridge and it was OK. It did get a lot better when it has warmed up a bit.

I have to say that I preferred the hand pumped Holgate ESB... It's worth a trip to Woodend to try this amongst their many other great beers (no affiliation)!

I got 8 bottles of TTL at Purvis a couple of weeks ago...
