Outside of crazy things like the Abyss, the only other beer to go so quickly is Pliny the Elder.<br /><br />You can probably chalk some of that up to Upright being new and exciting, but I saw many, many people going back for a second or third pint, which isn't usually the case in the cafe.

It was overly yeasty, overly dry, overly bitter and overly green. It was a task to finish. YMMV.

Had the 4 at CtBB was really impressed. Last weekend I had the 5 at the Horse Brass. Another very well made beer. Alex clearly takes care in his recipe formulation and execution. Hopefully he's got a neat trick planned for fresh hop season.
