Handwritten notes: Best gluten free beer ever. But I guess that's like winning the "best smile" contest in London. That's right, limeys, I went there. It could be the simple fact that it is 1:00 a.m. when I'm writing this, and I'm not "driving around" sober. But this ain't a bad tasting beer. Sort of a dusty manufactured taste but, garsh help me, a hell of a lot better than a lot of beers.

Handwritten notes: Intentionally light beer is as offensive to me as intentionally strong beer. Just let it be, boys. Alright, you drink light beer. You save a few calories and delay your heart attack by 13 more seconds. You best enjoy those 13 seconds, boyo, because while you are I'll be slugging a 7% IPA and inhaling a cuban cigar. Who do you think comes out ahead? So I'll die before you will, and you'll win the "delay the inevitable" race. Even so, I'm going to haunt your ass hardcore. This beer is an ok light tasting of a sort of bastardized German Lager.

Handwritten notes: This beer has a lot of things going for it – it is light, citrussy and refreshing. I just can’t help but feel it has been dumbed down for the North American palate. There is something ominous beneath its Kraut exterior that panders to my base desire for a lifeless alcohol delivery device. It would make a good every day beer, though, and since I haven’t used that label in a dog’s age, I will use it now.
