Summer Lightning – an award winning ale?

Summer Lightning

Summer Lightning is an award winning ale from the ‘Hop Back Brewery’. Apparently this ale – Summer Lightning – has won 70 awards.. mainly from CAMRA

I can’t see the appeal. After all the other bottles I have drunk over the last two weeks this one is definitely not one I have enjoyed.
