Mark, surely you jest and meant to write "Adnams." Cask conditioned and
served at cellar temperature of course. :)

Here's my analogy:

Lite beer = disc film or 110, being generous
Average American beer, even if you freeze the heck out of the stuff =
APS
Premium American beer, at best  = C****, N****
Leica = quality beers from Belgium (not Jupiler), the UK (not Bass),
Ireland, Germany (not Eichbaum), or the Czech Republic.
