Can. Clear amber-gold with a giant, fluffy long lasting head. Residue head lasted whole time. Aroma was grains, well balanced. Like a typical mega brewer lager. Taste was honey sweet itch grains and well balanced.

12 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 9/7/2016. Pours fairly crystal clear deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy off white head with good retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings down the glass, with a moderate amount of streaming carbonation retaining the cap. Aromas of honey, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. A bit fruity/yeasty in the aromas, but not overwhelming. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of bready malt and light earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of honey, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness. Light herbal, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of honey, cracker, lightly toasted biscuit, light pepper, and herbal/grassy earthiness for a good bit. Nice robustness and balance of bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Clean finishing. Light-moderate increasing dryness from bitterness. Very clean on lager flavors, with minimal yeast notes present. Medium carbonation and body; with very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, fairly crisp, and lightly sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 4.5%. Overall this is a nice Vienna lager. All around good obustness and balance of bready malt and light earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish. Really well made for the style, and very flavorful for the ABV. Clean Vienna/Munich malt flavors, with just enough earthy hops to balance sweetness. A nicely enjoyable offering.

12 oz can. Clear orange-amber pour with an off white head and decent retention. Minor lacing. A light, clean, sweet, straightforward lager. I donβt taste honey. Sometimes you just want a regular beer and this one is pretty flavorful.

Can. Toffee malt and straw aroma. Amber with moderate head. Slightly sweet toffee malt and moderately bitter metallic herbal hay flavor. Medium body. Drinkable but only just.
