#30 - J. W. Lees & Co - Marco Pierre White - The Governor

This beer presented me with a totally unique drinking experience.  Never before have I thought, with a beer in my hand, that I might as well be drinking water and saving myself the caloric consumption.  It has very little aroma, very little flavor and beyond the possible use as a sort of beer palette cleanser between rounds at a tasting session, very little point.  In theory this beer is all malt, and I hope that as a reviewer I can be forgiven for expecting to taste it. I also found myself desiring hops, not so much because I feel they are necessary to beer, but simply for any form of discernible flavor.  It is a beer designed to be served with food and I can quite honestly say that its flavor would not interfere with even the most delicate of dishes - mostly because it has so little flavor.  Having said this, it also didn't actively taste bad, so I suppose I can't score it too low. A 3.5/10 and no desire to drink it again.
