 Matt, "This is a very unassuming beer."
Aaron, "Oh there's a little watermelon there."
Matt, "I can see why they call it leisure ale. 'Cause this is uncomplicated and you dont have to think about it and you don't have to react to it."

Matt, "It's okay but why would anyone want to drink more than a sip of this."
Aaron, "It's so strong."
Matt, "It's so heavy. It's not pleasurable, it's just a challenge."

 Matt, "That is a dry lager and it is very pleasant. It is very effervescent. The subtly is what's really winning here."
Aaron, "And in this day and age, subtly never wins. So congratulations."

 Matt, "It is a very unassuming IPA, a very unremarkable IPA, and I think those two things equal an enjoyable beer for me."
Aaron, "I find it bitter and spiteful."
Matt, "Any IPA is going to be bitter, but this is not overly bitter."

 Matt, "Wow!" Aaron, "It actually works. I knew Shiner could pull it off." Matt, "I'm happy to have stand corrected." Aaron, "That's how that is supposed to taste."

 Matt, "I don't care for it." Mike agreeing with Matt, "Yup." Matt, "It's too bitter not enough sweet. Nut brown's gotta have a sweet bitter balance." Karen to Matt, "I agree." Aaron to Matt, "Are you crazy? It tastes really sweet."

 Aaron, "It smells like the inside of like a dresser drawer." Matt, "Cedar, yeah." Karen, "I think forest." Matt, "I can't get that smell of cedar out of my head."

 Matt, "It tastes okay. I don't like how it finishes. It finishes tartly. (Brandon: "Me too.") Tartly on the tongue. (Brandon: "Me too")."Elayne, "I actually really like this. And I normally don't really like dark beers."Aaron, "It tastes better after one sip."

 Matt, "That is a nice crisp IPA. That is very delightful. I think they call it juicy because it's not as dry as a IPA typically is."

 Matt, "I don't think I like that very much. I don't think I like red beers in general. They're too metallic for me."Rob, "It tastes like sunflower seeds." Aaron and Matt agree.

 Packaged in a root beer bottle.Matt, "That's not bad. There's lots of layers of favor in there. I got like three different layers. I haven't figured out what they are yet.Aaron, "I got a bunch of malt."Matt, "There's malt and then there's like a triangle of something. I feel like it's a triangle. (Aaron: "You can't feel a triangle from beer.") I'm tasting a triangle of flavor that comes through the malt."Aaron, "Oh, it's a little smoky too."Matt, "It's very dry and crisp and it makes me feel smart oddly enough."

 Matt, "Nice citrus-y IPA. Very clean and smooth."

 Matt, "It's lemon-y; it's herbal."Aaron, "I like it." Matt, "Pretty nice." Paul, "It builds."Aaron, "It's strong. Go pagans."
