Handwritten notes: One of the passable macros you might find in the hand of a hoser in his back yard barbecuing hot dogs. Why this beer needs to be more expensive than regular Kokanee I'm not really sure. The same sort of flavour as regular Kokanee, with a bit of a foamier whoosh and slightly higher ABV that enhances the flavour. Rather than regular Kokanee's "crisp" intense carbonation, this feels a bit more natural. Unfortunately, the flavour is still that of a Canadian macro, and nothing to write to your cousin about.
