Occasionally a major brewer will try to brew good beer, or at least market something as such an attempt. Usually this is a holiday beer appearing by December and gone within two months, but sometimes it seems to be meant as a regular product.
Appearances can be deceptive.
I have met many a dear friend, although had we met elsewhere each of us would have dismissed the other as an uncongenial freak. It is undrinkable. Yet Coors makes the adequate if uninspired Winterfest. Recently I bought a six-pack of Michelob Amber Bock. I was careless.
