Having another couple now- just in the interests of science like... Honestly can't seem to taste anything wrong with it. I could drink it all night.

Thanks for your replies - fingers crossed it'll become drinkable in time for Christmas hampers. I saw on another thread that some heated his brew and re-carbed and re-bottles but not sure I've the patience for that! Hopefully I don't have another 70 pints of headache fodder sitting in primary...
