Handwritten notes: Again, what is this Yankee Jim stuff? There's about 5 different types of it in Kenora, Ontario. This beer tastes like a hangover. A sickening sweet taste that coats the mouth and makes you reach for the Aspirin. Is this the YJ premium offering? They say that your taste buds mature. You enjoy sugary tastes as a child to ensure you are well-fed with high caloric foods. As you grow, you begin to prefer bitter tastes so you get the vitamins you need to withstand aging. This beer is sweet and bitter. The kid in me wants to vomit. And the grown-up in me wants to smack the kid in me in the face for being a smart-mouth.
