Handwritten notes: This will be the last opportunity I'll have to slander Leinie for a while. This is a sour amber with a metallic bite like you'd find in a faux premium. I don't know what else to say about a company that makes beers just above mediocre. Are they great? No. Are they terrible? No. Are they worth buying and doling out to your friends at a barbecue instead of Bud Light to prove you're classy? Ugh.
