Review
Honey-vanilla nose. Slight wintergreen beginning gets in the way of other flavors, a little bit of burn on the back end, fading to some slightly artificial wintergreen aftertaste. Nice honey tones when they emerge from the rest of the flavor, which isn't often enough. Tiny bubbles don't serve it well, but make for great burpability. Generally undistinguished brew.
