Handwritten notes: GOOD SWEET JESUS. Santa Claus is rolling over in his sarcophagus. This violent sexual offender tastes like if you licked shaving cream off a fat man's face and then sucked cough syrup out of his moustache. It says there are orange peels and spices in this. I actually think that there are pine needles in this beer. I am all for originality and novelty, but there's a limit, where originality meets atrocity. I would call it the Pauly Shore limit. This beer tastes like Old Spice and vomit. I do not care for it. (It was a dumper after 3 sips).
