500ml can, best by June 5 2021, drank on 10/10/20. Golden color, clear, modest white foamy head, retained as a thin layer for a good while. Nose is almost absent, favoring just a very line vinous malt, and some metallic notes. Vinous flavors too, feels a little sherry-like, or metallic, worrisome, but I'm not sure. Pretty nice rising bitterness, def hoppier than most German beers, esp marzens. Medium palate, a good body for a marzen. Appropriate balance to be good with food, hearty enough to drink alone. On the whole I like it except for that metallic sting I get every time I stick my nose in the glass for another drink.

500 ml can. Pours a clear gold color with thick white head and great retention. Good lacing. Grain and malt aroma. Lively carbonation. Lightly sweet, smooth lager flavor with creamy, bready finish. Really clean mouthfeel. Medium body. Not bitter. Great beer! Infinitely repeatable. Prost!

500 ml can. Bright brassy gold pour. Frothy white head. Crisp, grainy malt aroma. Sweet grainy malt flavor has metallic notes. Herbal, grassy notes in middle. Mildly bitter hop finish is lingering. Highly carbonated.
