Handwritten notes: Zip-a-dee-doo-dah. One of the most original tasting beers I've had in a dog's age. The smell is light and grassy, with woody caramel tones poking through. The taste is sharp caramel and fruity cloves, or some other spice. Perfect takeoff and flawless landing. I wonder if people living in Belgium drink Labatt's Blue and dream of living in Canada.
