Steele reserve is NASTY. You have to put cans in the freezer just so it's tolerable. I can't imagine drinking it in a 40...which they just came out with. we used to call it motor oil in college....but it got the job done.
the 40s are not new, and its fine in a 40, its like any shitty beer if its cold its fine, its a fuckload better than busch and has higher alcohol content.
