Handwritten notes: This beer tries to make itself sound like a micro brew. It is not. It is an over-carbonated macro (over-carbonation = "crisp") with less of an attempt at flavour than most macros (less flavour = "cool"). When I was a young man Kokanee would hide a picture of a little hiker somewhere on the picture of the mountain on the bottle. It was devilish fun to try and find him. If this company spent less time trying to amuse people and more time making beer, the 20-something unshaven jeans and t-shirt jerks of the world would have to move on to a different beer.
