Comments Smell: Bad breath and butt. Memory: First taste of bad beer More pumpkiness with a slight undertone of puke best one yet No no no- no more of that very pumpkinny Sour, but tasty. Couldn't have a lot of it. Disappointing, kindof in the way the Iraq war has been disappointing. Speechless . Hollow Reminds me of my first love of Imperial-IPA, and that's a good thing.
