Thanks for the review. I guess my takeaway is that I'd probably try it if I was offered one, but won't be spending my own cash on it.

When I heard that they used Mosaic in it I was holding out a small glimmer of hope that by "American lager" they meant something along the lines of an IPL. No such luck, apparently.

Also read mosaic was in there...if it is, it's extremely minimal and overpowered by the willamette.

hey what can i say. i'm a liberal, unconstrained free thinker willing to give most anything a try, all in the spirit of learning from my own experiences and making my decisions ;)
Hooray for that! Thanks for the interesting thread and being a guinea pig.
Don't let the bastards cheer you up.

The bartender poured us regulars all a sample of this the other day at the local tavern.  It was universally disliked.  We thought it had a nasty hop aftertaste, kind of like tropical fruit mixed with onions.  And most of these guys drink PBR on tap.
