[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 1561358, member: 2067"] Gnomish beer is light and bubbly and fruity, carbonated with strange tangy 'kicks' introduced throughout. Gnomes like to layer flavors, and to see the reactions on the faces of those who drink their beer -- they play with taste, they don't perfect it.
