My Bud and Coors Lite drinking family love this stuff. First off, I can't believe they even liked it. It's 10% ABV and 100+ IBU's for God's sake! A far cry from what their used to. But they actually loved it. So do I. It's fantastic. If you like Arrogant or Double Bastard, you'll love this stuff. Not really meant to be a clone of DB but I tried to make it somewhat similar.
