Handwritten notes: This rat bastard packs a bitter grapefruit and woody malt taste. From what I hear, the dudes who make this beer will kick you in the nuts with steel-toe boots sure as look at you. I do so appreciate a good shtick. This is my type of brew, and what I assume air tastes like in heaven. The best part is perhaps the bubbly spice left behind on the upper lip after a sip. Peace and love, brothers, and just calm down a bit will ya? Take a Valium, for God's sake.

Where do you live that you got this beer for $2? I live down the block from the Surly factory, and I can't get it for less than $2.50 a can in the store...

In the bar, it's hard to come by for less than $6.
