Reviewed from notes.
Can to mug.
Appearance: deep copper color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: toasty to grassy and slightly herbal with a biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas nice and malty sweet; finishes semi-malty and toasty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue
Overall: seems like a cross between a festbier and a Marzen, either way, I'd still come back to.

Pour is a cloudy orange with a large white head. Aroma is toasted biscuit malt. Flavor is more toasted grain with a super sweet finish. Cross between a fest and Oktoberfest beer. A little too sweet on the back end for me.

Tap in Brighton. Deep gold with a tall white head. Malty nose, rich and biscuity with lemony hops. Rich malt, bready, mo caramel, medium hops, quite dry and highly drinkable.

A little caramel, finishes with some sweetness. Pours golden copper with decent head. Decent balance. Tap at Snally.

Draft at Snallygaster 2024. Poured a clear light ruby color with a small, off-white head. Aroma was very nice toasted malts, light grass, sweet malt. Tasty.

Can drunk 10/26/22. Clear, light amber-brads-golden. Large, off-white head, good retention. Big, bready malts and rich honey contend with herbal hops in moderation. Clean, rich, low mineral. Interestingly, this is canned in Burlington, VT?! Soft, malty, heavy bready sourdough and toffee with fresh herbs and light to moderate bitterness. Maybe a bit intense for my liking but clean and malty with good attenuation.

Can at home. Flattish looking dirty orange and minimal head. Nose is dried fruits and caramel. Tastes earthy, grass, caramel, dried golden raisins, apricot and floral. Lingering flavor.

Pours deep, hazed gold into a willi. Soapy white head with good retention recedes leaving soapy lacing to coat surface. Caramel aromas. Soft with sweet caramel and straw upfront turning metallic(?) in the dry, earthy finish.
