NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! That is quite possibly the WORST "beer" ever made. In a town that has The Tugboat, Lucky Lab, and Horsebrass how could they let such an abomination leave the area. I think the "traditional favorite of European bike racers" is actually a lager with 7-UP. More on topic beer was thought to be a training aid and performance enhancer 70 years ago. Also if you've seen Eddy lately you'll notice he's a true Belgium beer lover. enjoy, Brandon"monkeyman"Ives SB, CA
