    I first had it on tap a long time ago, and it tasted like something went awry... that's all I recall. Then much later, I finally found a place selling cans, and I really enjoyed it. Felt like a middle ground between Steam and Liberty. I wish I had more to get a better grip on it, but the store only sold singles rather than six packs.

    If I had it before and it's still better than a new beer I had in 2015, it counts.
