Gack - wasn't I warned about this in some blog? Fortunately, I found some sour chevre in the fridge which took away all the excessive bitterness from the beer (really - made it more like a California Pale Ale) so I could finish the bottle with pleasure.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03155002968576029781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-35958530200859774472008-01-02T06:23:00.000-08:002008-01-02T06:23:00.000-08:00I concur....

I still liked it better than Sierra Nevada Celebration, but it was near the bottom of my Christmas seasonal list.dalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06972700405843292780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24364002.post-54523049300160605132007-12-27T09:16:00.000-08:002007-12-27T09:16:00.000-08:00You are exactly right, this beer was a complete me...You are exactly right, this beer was a complete mess.
