Notes:
After about 1 hour of trying to rip a 10 year old rotted tree stump, I felt I deserved a brew, and could feel justified by the snarly-beady glares from the life-partner. An hour with a sledge hammer and a long metal rod can do wonders to ones foul mood (doesn't hurt for the libido either). But I digress.

This is a seasonal brew by the gods at Philips, who managed to make a fruity beer without making it into a girly drink... Also known as a Cooler. Not very sweet, and with a distinctive hop/malt taste, making this an excellent choice for a few pints on a hot sunny day. It goes down extremely quick and is best served chilled... But it won't taste like pee water if it gets to room temperature. I don't know how these guys do it, but they (Philips) just make stinkin good ales.
