Pocket sparkler, I'd imagine.But seriously what is going on with the syringe?

Could it be any worse than Hammer and Tongs?
After a trip to the UK earlier this year,I found a contender for Tennants Super as the worst I've tried,Greene King Abbot Ale.The first ale I tried there,JD Wetherspoons at Heathrow,it was truly BAAAAD ! A higher alcohol heat that made me gag,nearly solvent like.Can't work out how the beer rate sites give it rave reviews.Apparently this high alcohol heat is in a few ales there,possibly to give the drinker/vomiter the impression they're getting more alcohol for their 3 quid.Quite a few ales there were bland and almost tasteless,but this was just foul muck.
Yep,the one I had at Wetherspoons ,Heathrow airport was a foul pint;not infected or anything,just a very hot, higher alcohol heat.Not totally undrinkable,but it was forced down and made me shudder.The BJCP style guidelines for English Pale Ales mention this added 'flavour addition' and now I see what they mean.I was in Somerset,tried about 20 or so ales on tap,some 'CAMRA' award winners ,and the VAST majority were very,very,very,very,bland by our standard.Exmoor was the local drop,and it was a quite decent session ale,not groundbreaking,but an easy quaffer.Had better luck in Scotland though..Are you also saying that abbots ale is one of the worst? If so I got to go to the uk. When's abbotts is the worst beer **** everything else must amazing.

An intersesting and, no doubt slighty dissapointing trip to the old dart! But nevertheless, an eye opener. In Australia we knock the shit out of our mega swill breweries - the *TWO* majors, in USA they do the same and it seems (from your ponderings) that in England we would do the same.
Proves that most average folk are NOT like us keen brewers and are as happy with just moderately flavoured and hopped beers, lagers or ales.
I personally don't have a problem with that and even 'tip my hat' to the mega swill brewers for producing a beer that appeals to the masses and getting that unreal level of consistency.
