Mood: Chill Thursday night making a desicion between going to a conference tomorrow in Seattle or staying in Vancouver and planning my weekend.

Country: Canada (Quesnel, BC)

%: 4.9%

ml: 650ml

Smell: like hoegarten, sweet, refreshing.

Taste: like hoegarten (they all kinda taste the same), sweet with a slight white wine taste and apricot taste, slightly bitter the more I drink

Mouthfeel: tough on the tongue at first and then turns into a light cream

Finished: light and slightly bitter the more I drink it. The bitterness can get old fast.  Goes away after about 20 seconds. 

Overall: Not bad. I like the packaging as well as the cheap price tag (for BC at least) and it's a nice witbier, honestly at this point they all taste the same to me.  Lighter than other beers so does not give me much of a buzz.
