Handwritten notes: A murky-ass wheat beer whose appearance belies its real taste. I fully expected a lemon and banana fruit salad but instead this is a somewhat bitter beer brewed with... agave? I'm pretty sure I've never seen, never mind tasted an agave plant. Having tasted aloe I would assume that agave adds some of the same bitterness. I could be talking out of my ass, who knows? For sure I know that there is something unique about the bitterness in this baby. All tolled, this beer tastes little like a wheat beer, but something worth trying to celebrate your 25 cent per hour raise.

You should buy a bottle of agave and give it a go. Looks like honey. It's a great all-natural alternative to sugar. I like putting it on berries, and I add it to my wife's margaritas instead of using triple sec.

No way. I'll have to try it. The funny thing is that the beer does not taste "sweetened" at all. I wish I bought more than one so I could try it again.
Just this morning I heard about Agave while I was watching the food network. Weird. Yeah, that's right, I watch the food network.
And Lost, we all know that you're a closet margarita drinker. They're not for your wife at all. Fess up.
