Handwritten notes: This beer smells and tastes of cookies baked with those butterscotch chips. The dominant taste is a malt sort of sweetness carted in by a fizzy whoosh of carbonation. I read all of the crap on the label and I couldn't help but note the eccentricity, nay, the smelly hippie eccentricity of the words. The label appears to want to be "clever", but none of what is written is very funny or interesting. This is a sure sign that someone who smokes weed wrote it. Now, this blog is not very funny or interesting, but I only smoke harmless tobacco these days. Overall, this is a good example of a Canadian micro-brew.
