Notes: This was a beer that i was rather eager to try. I was following the Perfect Pint facebook page's world cup of beers that ran concurrently with the football world cup. During that i had noticed a bias from the follower's of the page towards English based breweries (the German contenders went out early because many users said they hadn't tried them). So i was intrigued when Einstök made it through to the semi's, so when i made an order from Beers Of Europe i was sure to add one of their brews.
