Handwritten notes: This is a British pub-style draught with crippled carbonation and an impotent bite. This beer tastes like it is meant to be pounded at the local public house. I know I've mocked the Brits and the hosers before for this "draught" business. I can only reiterate that I'm behind the Yanks in their simplicity of language. Draft. Thank you America. Can you imagine if America just followed suit? Huckleberry Finn going down the Old Mississippi on a Raught? Richard Roundtree starring in a movie about a black cop named "Shaught"? Thank you! I'll be here all night!
