no, just the first sign of actually having tasted something nice instead of windfall french apples & dead wasps, or some fizzy piss

ps. i discovered real ales when i was 14 and got a job at the local pub/restaurant as a washer upperer, and was allowed 1/2 pint of beer a shift...

^ wet and alcoholic is all good, but there's a time when you want a nice drink!

Lager is ok if it's the stronger european stuff but you can't beat a good ale, it's not for caning it on though. Great for a relaxing evening.

Now I sound old lol

the pub i worked in when aged 14 had that on draught. but they had 12 proper beers on regular + 2 or 3 guest ones at any time.. they were camras top pub for a lot of years... it changed hands a long time ago & soon went downhill..
