Nice, crisp amber and copper coloured body with a thinnish tan head that's about a single centimetre tall that fades fairly quickly. Aroma of caramelised sugars, toffee, light biscuity malt with some peat and graininess and a touch of flowers towards the end and a dry note from the lager yeast. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong caramel, toffee, grain and especially yeastie flavours show through and leave some pungency towards the end with a dry and herbal flavour at the end and a crisp note throughout. Aftertaste shows the grainy, bready and especially caramelley flavour with some yeast and dry notes that come through and leave a light bitterness from the lager yeasts and biscuity elements with some soft sugars at the tail end. Overall, about right for the style with a deep caramel and toffee flavour set that runs from the smell to the absolute finish with some drier notes, a good hit of biscuity malt and lager yeasts, but fairly simplistic throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from the Department of Beer and Wine in Alexandria, Virginia on 25-September-2020 for US$3,59 sampled at my house here in Washington on 26-October-2020.
