If there is one thing I can tell you: serve this beer cold. Ice – cold. Then, as you get further down the bottle you’ll get slightly buzzed you won’t mind the taste so much.
I’m biased. One night in college I drank a sixer of this and a 5th of peppermints schnapps and ruined a couch. Needless to say this beer brings back bad bad bad memories.
Colder the better though.
I’m giving it a three because it’s got decent flavor and no hops. I’d probably give it a two but I’m trying to make up for my bias.
