Handwritten notes: This is a lightly hopped beer with the consistency of a root beer float. It's just enough to sassify as far as I'm concerned. The amount of bitter hops is perfectly balanced with the syrupy malt, just right for my particular palate. This is the kind of beer that makes you wish you were sitting in a lawnchair. Not like one of these new-fangled lawn chairs, but one of those old plaid weaved plastic numbers that creaked when you opened them and invariably tore through at the most inopportune time. Those were awesome. So were lawn darts. And so was smoking in a car with the windows rolled up and kids in the back seat. Ah, simpler times.
