In the last box there there was a small can of something with the word "forest" in the name and some trees, notably pine, listed in the ingredients. It was "interesting" for the first couple of mouthfuls and at 6.5% ABV a small can was perfect. But as one drank more of it I could not help but conclude that its taste was extremely akin to the smell of a typical Pine scented toilet cleaner. Personally I would say identical but other's taste buds may have a finer sense of flavour and smell balancing than mine.

Beer 52? I have that too. Trouble is I'm running out of space!
