Review
Herby nose. Strong initial bite, with a wintergreeny kick. Not terribly sweet, or smooth -- a kind of sharp medicinal taste that is not particularly pleasant. Small bubble carbonation and wintergreen combine for tongue burn. There are folks who like these medicinal brews, but I am not one of them.
