I'm a man who loves whiskey; I also love beer. The folks at Jameson have done a wonderful job with this collaboration. I bought some for my girlfriend and I this last Christmas and was pleasantly surprised. The regular Jameson is still in there, yet there is a light hop presence with a nutty, chocalety aroma. My palate is young and will develop more over time but if you enjoy Ol' Jamie, then don't hesitate to spend the extra 5 bucks. You won't be disappointed. (:
