Notes:
Now this is precisely why I can't understand why folk drink Budweiser. This has got to be one of the tastiest beers I've ever had, and I'd have never known it if it wasn't for the fact that I'm willing to try something different. Don't get me wrong, my days of massive orgies and hedonism are well gone; but that doesn't preclude me from testing and trying a new beer. I couldn't find this on the online list of current beers on their website, so it must be pretty fresh stuff.

This has a hoppy aftertaste mixed in with some malty and fruity tastes. It isn't too hoppy to overwhelm you, and it seems like just tasty-enough to provide that perfect sense of satisfaction. This is one damn-good beer.
