I like the new rating system, I thought for a minute that it was going to be visual and it was how close the bowl was to VB, the further away the better. I think the biggest problem with Furphy is thery don't explain what it's meant to be, i.e. not a pale ale (we just assume that any 'ale' that is marketed as drinkable is a pale ale nowadays) it's actually a kolsch, which is a) unusual for Australia b) generally a 'boring' style, if you are looking for malt and/or hops. I agree it's okay without being anything interesting.
