Handwritten notes: The thing about the German purity law is that no one ever references the German purity law of 1945. Somehow we've all forgotten about that. This is a straight up Pils which is refreshing after tasting godawful Canadian Pilsner. There is a tinny, bitey and dusty taste that really hits my spot. I saw this 6 pack of Bits with a free glass in a Christmas gift set and I really had no choice but to buy it. 13 bucks?? Good deal.
