I seem to remember when it first appeared people raved about it. It was bronze in the bitter category CBOB in 2006, two years after GKIPA got silver overall. Have tastes changed, or the beer? Or does familiarity indeed breed contempt?

As an aside, I read somewhere of people moaning that Pride had gone downhill just days ofter the Asahi takeover, suggesting that the beer in the mash tuns knew about the takeover before anyone else.
