    It was my first review so I hope it was good. I am disappointed how I couldn't better describe the Kwak taste though.

    Belgian beers are a very unique style of beer and have a very distinctive flavor profile (even when they are a variation of another style like IPAs). Unlike North American beers, Belgian beers get most of their flavor from the yeast strain rather than hop bombs. Generally speaking, you will find that Belgian beers are spicier and have hints of somewhat sour fruits (not to be confused with what you'd expect of sour/wild ales).

    A selection I just picked up at the store. :)

    Re: Bourbon County, my local beer place got three cases, all of which sold out within an hour. I got the second to last four pack. :D

    Oooh wow.

    The pumpking one looks like one I could see for a Halloween Special. Is that normal over there?

    Is that stuff any good? =o

    Goose Island Bourbon County is a world-class beer and is amazing. For 14%+ ABV, it is surprisingly smooth and extremely flavorful. The Rum Barrel Aged Pumpking is new-ish apparently (I've never had or heard of it before, but I've heard good things about it). Enjoy By is really good and apparently this batch (12.26) is better than 1.1.14, which was phenomenal. And Elysian Space Dust IPA is easily in my top five favorite six packs for an IPA (or in general come to think of it).

    Keystone Light - The be-all and end-all of low class cheap beverages for the drinking man on a budget.

    Nothing quite says "time to get shit on the floor, wipe on the curtains, hammered" like Keystone. Ever feel the need to be viewed as a second class citizen at your local convenience store? Want to watch your skill level in gaming drop significantly over the course of several hours while blaming and cursing everything and everyone else but yourself? This sweet nectar of the gods has you covered, my friends. For approximately $15 USD, you can acquire 18 of these little shameful beverages that are sure to get your day/night/morning/whenthefuckever going. Why you ask? Because it's Monday. That's why. Pair it with your favorite beef jerky (see above) and be on your way to plaid-wearing, beard-growing, chainsaw-wielding awesomeness.

    On to the review...

    Appearance - The beauty of Keystone is that the product stays the same, from beginning to end. You couldn't tell the difference in appearance if you were to promptly recycle used product back into a glass. However, there is one factor which can't be overlooked, the badass can:

    Yep, camouflage can. Shit, SOE would charge you $5 just for the camo coverage and you get that for FREE!! Old lady on your ass? Go drink in the woods. Queen Kong will never find you with a stealth booze of such legendary status. For this, I give it a 10/10.

    Smell - Just...don't smell it. 2/10

    Taste - There's a no bullshit, no trickery marketing approach here. It tastes just like it looks, like piss. 3/50

    Mouthfeel - Drink til you can't feel your mouth = WIN 8/10

    Overall - Keystone Light - for when taste, body, and other forms of judging fine alcoholic beverages needs to be thrown out the window and you just need to slam empty cans into your head, yell at small neighborhood pets/children and fight trees. Any other time, get something good :-)
