Handwritten notes: The only thing sketchy about this beer is the name. Guys, put a little creativity into the back story. I would say: "This is a beer that follows nobody's rules, even its own. It smacks you in the face with a sharp shank of hops, then fades away like a phantom. And you, you conformist bastard, you're left standing there asking yourself what the hell just happened." Well, that may be a bit much, but it does represent itself as being an American-hopped micro, then as soon as you say "oh, wow", the flavour is gone. You'll find your tongue groping around the walls of your mouth for another little taste. It's pretty good.
