I really enjoyed the hop thief and I found the 150 Lashes wasn't bad (especially right after choking through the cardboard sandwich like McCracken Amber Ale..) but the Mid River? Wow, that was a chore to drink.
Maybe I caught a bad batch but it literally left a bad taste in my mouth.
It's pretty hit and miss with James Squire I find. Anyway, ripper read as usual :)
