This is a pretty good comparison (and I like the Honkers Ale). I didn't find it to be very watered down though. You should try it Popeye, I think you'll like it.

I'd liken my reaction to it as being similar to the media reaction to Palin. The expectations were so low that it was bound to be a success with me. And it was. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it.
As I believe it was mentioned before, if they start offering this at the Cards games next year this will be my drink of choice.
I'd even go as far as saying, yes I'd order it in a bar even if there were other options. I wouldn't ALWAYS order it but its good enough to drink at a place that has your Fat Tire's and Schlafly's on tap.

It would be for me as well, without even trying it. I usually opt for Honker's or Schlafly Pale at the games now, even though you get ~4 fewer ounces for the same price as a Bud/Light/Select. At bars I usually go darker/heavier, but a pale ale type is the furthest I really want to go when I'm sitting outside in the sun.
