I did have one after a week and it wasn't anywhere near ready. This time there is a nice strong bitter taste with an explosion of hoppy tastes on the tongue which leaves a crisp refreshing fizz on the tongue. I have a real Consiton Bluebird to compare it against but I'll do that when a few other ale drinkers are present to rate...
