Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-transparent amber/red color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some grassy sweet hops meshing with some caramel/toffee malts and toasted nutty character
Flavor: leans towards the sweet side following through on blending the prior noted aromas; finishes semi-crisp with a decent nutty to caramel base
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; fairly clean and smooth along the tongue
Overall: nice enough amber lager I believe I could give another shot at.

Can (19 Nov 24?--date partially obscured) from Total Wine & More, W. Hollywood. Clear, amber-iced tea, light sparkle, thin head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is lightly toasted, sweet caramel malts. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, average carbonation, crisp finish as taste. Easy going lager. Appreciate the brewery tick!

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours dark ruddy amber with a moderate beige head. Aroma is amber malty. Med body. Flavor is lightly toasty, ambery malty with not a lot of hop bitterness. Fruity hop - not tropical, dark or pale stone - so maybe apple.

Tap. Pours clear hazel, medium off white head, good lacing. Aroma is light and a bit roasty, toasted caramel, white toast. Flavor is light sweet, very light bitter. Medium body, a bit low on carbonation. Fairly well done for the style, it's just not a style I dig.
