However I could definitely see myself getting loaded on this and driving my truck into a knotty white pine. Nice hoppy aroma and taste. Michigan is not just famous for the greatest NFL franchise apparently they make some pretty bitchin’ beers as well....long live Blatz! trayns (242), Beverly Hills, Michigan, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 20, 2009 Growler. Pours a warm amber golden color, with a small white head. Aroma is a lot of sweet malts, caramel, and a back drop of hops. Taste follows, a lot of malty sweet and caramel tastes up front and finished with a clean hoppy taste. Finn (1510), Tromsø, Norway
