      It was a hoppy ale (mostly chinook) with a lot more taste than it’s 5.5%ABV would suggest.

          Very wise people who know that apostrofes can be used to show ownership as well as in contractions.

              To be fair it was quite an idiomatic formulation so easy to misunderstand.

                    These guys from NZ release consistently solid stuff. This was no exception.

                      No, that's just wrong.  Sorry, but no.

                        Google «possesive apostrofe». It was taught that way to me and is taught that way in every text book I’ve ever seen. Sumfink fønni  going on ere.

                          Upon further reading I’m understanding the issue better. «It» as a pronoun should logically use a progressive apostrofe but «ITS» is a possessive and doesn’t need one. It would seem that I and many other teachers and teachers of teachers are perpetuating the corruption of the English language. Burn baby burn.

                                  Ya see, I’m pleased for you. I’m glad you were right and you deserve all the smugness you want. But don’t bring that bellend Clarkson into it.

                                          To follow up on the grammar nerd stuff-
                                          He, she, it, and they are third person pronouns.  None of them use apostrophe s to show possession (his, hers, its, their).  While it's an exception to the general rule, it is a somewhat consistent one.
