Review

        Rooty nose.  Bubbly lead, with a winter-green midrange that drops into a slightly aspartame-like after-taste.  The carbonation gets in the way of the taste, it is front and center.  Taste evolves through the glass -- sweeter middle.  Vague honey tones trying to break through, too.  This is a decent microbrew, but the elements never quite hang together, they are competing instead.  Major burps from that over-active carbonation.  As Nancy notes, "first you get a blast of carbonation that has a hint of winter-green, then you go to the sweet aftertaste -- the flavors aren't big enough in the middle to carry it."
