“The temperature in the tub was perfect and the beer was nice and cold. the only downside I'd say is that there's no warning before you are told your time is up so any beer you have left is wasted. other than that, the time went by very quickly and I was very relaxed by the end of it. I personally feel it's a bit pricey for what it is but still worth doing if you haven't tried it before.”
