Who the fuck tries to make a rabbit look like a badass? Rabbits are, at best, innocent little shits, and at worst, little arseholes who actively try to make you try to crash your car. Except I don’t brake for them – which puts them marginally above gophers, for whom I actually swerve and aim. (Not joking. I’ve owned horses. Gopher holes break horses’ legs. Anybody who has horses has to choose whom they like better: horses or gophers. #teamhorsesalltheway.) The beer, on the other hand, is actually pretty decent. Clean and pale, this is really pleasant and easy to drink. Despite the logo being a rodent whom I personally despise, I actually like this a whole lot. (16/20)
