Undated, fresh can from brewery cooler drunk 10/16/25.
Looks great! Deep auburn-copper-amber. Big, light beige head, strong retention.
Really delicate but fragrant hops add a mix of dried herb and light pepper with a touch of floral character. Good mix of bread and caramel from the malt, without too much sourdough/toast. Very clean and crisp on the finish.
Malty and gently hoppy with soft flowers and herbs. Great base malt character with lower caramel and little/no toast. Malty texture with excellent carbonation, drying out slightly towards the end. Fruity, red berries and a touch more caramel linger. Balanced and flavorful. Is a bit more richly/thickly malty than it is crisp and refreshing, but only just slightly so. A touch short on the finish.

Side by side comparison with another Local NH brewed Marzen. Amber in color, thin lasting head. Aroma caramel malt, earthy grain, and toffee. Flavor, is toasted caramel, fruity and soft earth. Light bodied and clean.

Frothy beige head stayed well on a translucent auburn body. Malty & dark fruit aroma. Medium bodied, lots of carbonation. Quite smooth though. Malt, plum, toffee, brown sugar slightly hoppy on the back. Very drinkable!
