while Belgian beers are excellent if you want a glass of beer, in the United States, a man does not usually set out to have a glass of beer. More like, a pitcher of beer. Or two. Or four. Your licorice savory candy beers in the tulip glasses don't work well with a couple of extra large supreme pizzas as you watch the game, or out on the lawn as you grill a few kilos of meat. In fact, since they don't come in a can, you cannot impale a chicken on them and grill a beer butt chicken with your beer.
It does not help that it has a French name and a [motherloving] smurf on the label

I have warned you before that while you Belgians may be expert on the subject of GOOD beer, you know nothing at all about cat's piss beer. Heneiken is refined nectar compared to the swill that bursts from the industrial vats of American corporate breweries. If "American Beer" was a M:TG enchantment, it would be Black.
This is urine beer-- Steel Reserve High Gravity 211. We should weaponize this stuff to drop over trenches.

"I was thirsty, and noticed this was cheaper than bottled water. Boy, what a mistake. Next time I think I'll just stick to the water that collects at the bottom of trash dumpsters, which is not any different than this crud, but at least it's free."
"Holy cats, this stuff is putrid. The first sip made my sideburns draw right up on top of my head. My eyes watered and my ears rang. After a few more sips, when I literally began to break a cold sweat, I realized I had to pour this out if I wanted to live. There is a very real possibility I may have foreshortened my life expectancy after being exposed to this. "
Personally I recommend serving this beer over ice in a frosted mug, so it freezes and your taste buds are numbed on contact. Even so, the sour milk flavor is going to burn through. I'd have some sliced horseradish at hand to kill the taste between gulps. Chug it or you won't get through the pint.
The core joke of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is that of course no civilization would develop personal computers with instant remote database recovery, and then waste this technology to find good drinks.
Steve Jobs has ruined this joke.
