Handwritten notes: I first thought, on sipping this bad boy, "aah, Red Kool-Aid". You can just tell by drinking it that it is "Red". And that's just disgusting to me. One thing I'd like to impart, if I haven't done so already, is that I (like most of you kind readers) am from a community whose beer consumption is as plentiful as its beer ignorance. See, for example, this tool-pouch's comments when I insulted a local beer. We think that premium is that stuff you pay extra for. If we pay an extra 20 cents per bottle, we will convince ourselves that the taste is better. I may not be a lot of things: a good credit risk, a hard worker, etc but I am objective. C'mon Fort Garry. This beer is sickly sweet and offensively smooth, like the panties of a high-class hooker. (By the way, this beer is brewed for the Festival du Voyageur, which is pretty much an excuse for local Frenchmen to prance around in lumberjack outfits kissing little boys with their rustly beards).
