Looks like Jordan (saints_gambit in these parts) already did. :wink:

I've got two promo bottles myself. Haven't tried it yet, but one's in the fridge...

Had a promo bottle a week ago. Nothing special. Found it on the sweeter side. Not for my liking.
We can get drunker than this!!

If this was available as a single I'd pick it up, but I'm not buying six.
I used to sell beer. Now I don't.

I'll buy a six pack and trade you 3 of them for 3 f&m pilsners

Trading Budweisers... I think we've brought a new low to the board! :lol:

My review of it is here: http://www.torontobeerblog.com/beer-rev ... uschinbev/

It's actually okay. Not anything I would pay money for, but not awful. A bit sweet as noted, but definitely has both caramel malts and some type of hops in it. A bit thin for my liking, and certainly nowhere near the depth of a Brooklyn Lager, but I wouldn't hesitate to order it if I unluckily found myself in an ABIB pub.

I had this in the States some time ago and (assuming it is the same beer or recipe) let me just say I expected much, much more. Same with Coors' Batch 19 (not available here I believe). They just don't come close to a good craft beer, in my opinion.

What!? This sucks? I got ripped off! :)

Nice meeting you Matt, and thanks for the homebrews, which I'm super-excited about!

I didn't mind this. Not worth a 6-pack purchase, but if I ever find myself in a bar with a terrible tap selection I will be ordering this over (almost) anything else in the InBev empire.
