I don't know what it is with me and these things. I bought a couple towards the end of last Year. I kegged a Kolsch, which was OK, but I had some trouble with the tap and the CO2 capsule and it ended up going flat very quickly. I'd bottled half the batch and I much preferred the bottled brew.
In January I kegged half a batch of Cascade Pale Ale. The bottles are all gone, but I left the keg and I've just plunged the tap in. The keg had been living in a cupboard in my garage and I moved it carefully into the kitchen. I drew off a sample and this is what I got..

An absoultely disgusting, murky dishwater, with no discernible taste at all. Nothing like the bottled batch :-( It's such a shame as I know others have a great experience with this set up, but I think I might just give up on it.
