Canned 8/30/18, drunk 1/12/19. Clear amber, bronze-maize. White head to a ring. Smells sweetly of caramel and toffee with light herb and dryer bread. Clean and quite lovely with no alcohol or heavy hop. Really love seeing these cans that have a lot of relative age on them. This shows good attenuation, honey, caramel, brown bread and light cracker. Noble hops and good attenuation keep it crisp and balanced. Maybe a touch too dry, even. But quite good.

16 oz can bought in NH. Cloudy pale gold color with an off-white head and great retention. Fair lacing. Tastes more like a Vienna than an amber ale, but It's still good. Minimal hops bitterness. Smooth, clean, lightly sweet and repeatable. Nice.

From the can. Sour candy corn aromas. Soft and dry with pumpernickel sourdough and candy corn front to back. Sweet dough finish.

Pours a dark straw/amber from a tap. Surprising citrus aroma and flavor, for some reason I'm thinking that might be caused either by the tap line or glassware of the establishment but maybe not. Crisp toast flavor as well. Okay beer. Maybe more of a marzen?
