I've been putting off drinking this bottle of Friar's Belgian-Style White Ale from Sherwood Forest Brewers because it all seems a bit... fake. I can't fault these guys for the obvious, making a Belgian Wit outside of Belgium, that's not my quarrel. What turned me off to this beer was all the Robin Hood references. They're kitschy in an annoying sort of way. Unless you're selling this beer to six year olds who think Robin Hood and Friar Tuck are cool, don't hide your beer behind public domain cartoon characters. It feels like you're talking down to me, "I know you like Robin Hood so maybe you'll like our beer because it has a cartoony Friar Tuck on it!" Seriously, let the beer speak for itself...
