Amber wtih moderate tan head. Caramel malt and spruce aroma. Moderately sweet caramel malt and mildly bitter spruce flavor. Good body.

16 ounce can from Libby’s Liquors. Amber orange pour. Frothy beige head is enduring. Toasted malt aroma has toffeeish notes. Flavor is sweet toasted malt. Some bitterness as well. Hints of toasted bread and nuts. Herbal, piney hops on backend. Clean and crisp. Tasty.

Always love a new polotmavy tick. Bright and clear copper colored and frothy head. Nose is malty and spicy hops. Tastes of sweet malt, florals, bready, little peppery bite. Clean smooth palate.

16oz can pours a clear burnt orange with some white head that faded fast. Cream soda and treacle nose. Malt. Corn. Flavors all follow. Its sweeter than I wanted and drinks bigger than it should have

Can, best by 1/20/26, drunk 9/26/25.
Clear amber. Big, frothy, dense, well-retained, fluffy, off-white head.
Smells excellent. Very hop-accented, though not overdone. Floral and herbal with big pepper notes but also a good deal of toasted bread and mineral. Some light honey-like pils malt on the very end softens and helps balance. Clean, of course.
Soft, malty, plenty of good pils malt without any big toastiness. But just enough lightly-toasted bread to define the style. Clean and hoppy but not over-hopped. Feels pretty traditional. Maybe a bit more attenuation on the very end would lend a more crisp, refreshing character, but I'm not complaining about the deep maltiness.
