Handwritten notes: The immediate smell and taste of this bad boy is that of laundry detergent. Sometimes, in doing these reviews, I feel like a colour commentator on some football game. I'm just filling the air with words while everyone looks at the pretty pictures. Ah... this beer is fresh, but artificially so. It's like dating a chick who wears a ton of makeup. At the end of the night you're tucking in next to a pimple-faced hag and a Phosphate-free beer.
