Saw one of these in the local shop.. On call tonight, but maybe by tomorrow night my cojones will have miraculously enlarged enough to give it a go....

Have you any idea what fish are doing in there?

I could quote W.C. Fields, but this is not the snug!! And by the way, there are fresh water fish too!!

It's not salty as you'd imagine. I'm not really sure what benefit the sea water gave to the beer, if I'm honest.

It's ****. Tasteless

I assume the salt is removed so it's just normal water then (seeing as at some point all water on the planet is sea water)?

About 4 years ago I was in Boston with work and had a beer made with salt, can't for the life of me remember what it was called but fairly sure it was a Sam Adams. It was a dark larger, very hoppy and was served in a glass with a salted rim much like a cocktail would be. I must have liked it because I remember having quite a few. I think it was somehow filtered through rock salt to give it the flavour.

The ingredients are listed on the bottle as water, malt, hops, yeast, sea water - so I suppose if that's in order of the amounts as is usual then there can't be a lot of salt water in there, hardly a splash by the looks of it.

Might have been a special. They do Verloren, a gose, but doesn't really fit in with your description.

2/3 of the earth's surface is covered in sea water. Where's the unique 'selling point'? Reminds me of whale bollocks (http://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-news-from-elsewhere-30777516). Commercial gimmickry. Probably tastes like p*ss, as usual...

because sea water is 'subtle'... and goes 'well' with sand and egg sandwiches.

No. Because it contains unique artisanal salts that give the beer a distinctive,complex and individual flavour. Pfft, Peasant!!
