I still haven't tried this beer, but I really don't understand what people were expecting. Some super hoppy IPA, a rich stout, a fruit beer? They need to appeal to the masses and the mass panel picked this beer. It's not meant for the beer nerds.

Is a high quality lager too much to ask?

I mean Great Raft has a couple of very drinkable (to the masses) low ABV beers with Southern Drawl and Reasonable Corrupt.

eta: maybe I got caught up in the Tin Roof hate. I just assumed it was crappy and it has a very average uptappd rating. I'll try one tonight to see.
I'm always skeptical about first releases anyways. The first time I tried Gameday IPA it was bad enough that I still haven't tried it again.

Exactly. When they were deciding on what to make I knew it was going to be something appealing to the masses; it'd be a dumb move not to be. They stand to make lots of money this football season with that beer.
