The Gipsy Moth, Greenwich

I was at this pub on Friday night and wasn't very impressed at all. I'm a Greenwich resident and have been coming to the Gypsy Moth sporadically for the last 10 years.
It's one of those pubs that fills your pint/half right to the line and sometimes below, you can't really blame the staff for that since they have probably been asked to do this.
I was drinking Hoegaarden and the first half was fine (if under the line) but when I got a second it tasted very much like bleach. I took it back to the bar and they said that they thought it was fine but it could have been the new dishwasher tablets and they would give me another one. The second one tasted exactly the same and when I took it back (after getting everyone on my table to taste it) the barmaid said to me 'Maybe you just don't like the taste of Hoegaarden'. I've been drinking the stuff for over 7 years and found this really patronising especially since she was about ten years younger than me!
The next day a few of us had some quite nasty headaches (not due to the amount we'd consumed!!) which we think was down to either the glasses or the beer taps, either way not a good experience.
