473ml can. Pours a hazy copper orange with a medium, frothy, long lasting, off-white head that leaves soapy curtains of lace. Aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of toasted bready malt, caramel, overripe fruit and spicy hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light to medium body with an oily to watery texture and average carbonation. Malt forward and flavourful.

473mL can, pours a dark amber/caramel colour with a tiny head, hinting at undercarbing. Aroma is quite caramely, with sweet caramel bready malt, and a touch of herbal notes. Flavour is very malty, with lots of caramel, bready malt, and a hint of toasted nuts. The carbonation is definitely abnormally low, which highlights the above average sweetness that is too high. This needs some work.

Okay foam on a hazy light copper body, some visible carbonation. Modest sweet cereal aroma, a little mealy, a little dirty. Taste is chewy malts, more cereal, ending smooth and a little wet. Seems a little haphazard, not a clean märzen and not a crisp one either but drinkable.

Dull hazy amber and a thick head. Yeasty aroma with light caramel. On the palate the caramel is nice but it does have a touch of fruitiness. A bit too much alcohol taste. Ferm isn’t dialed in but there’s some good elements here.
