473ml can. Pours a clear pale gold with a small, foamy, short lived, white head that laces nicely. Mild aroma of bready pale malt, grass, lemon, faint oak and floral hops. Sweet fruity flavour of grainy pale malt, honeydew, lemon, grass, black pepper, light oak and floral hops in a crisp, dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. Clean, refreshing and crushable. Pretty tasty for a Pils.

Amber-brown colour. Sweet, brown sugary character. Woody, some vinegar in there. Not bad necessarily, but not my thing.

0.5 l bottle thanks to Marko who shared it with Ogi and myself. Oily darker brown, minimal head. Aroma is dried fruit, molasses, soy sauce, cherry brandy, red grapes, a touch of oak. Slick, oily, medium body, flat, sweet, caramel and dried fruit. Mineral, slightly tart. Sweet finish. Alcohol hidden The stillness is a bit odd, one needs to get used to the beer being flat.

Bottle, 0.5l, courtesy of Pictoman, shared with Hrabren and Ogi. Murky dark brown hody, almost no head. Soy sauce, raisins and oxidation in the sharpish aroma. Lean, creamy caramelly, flat taste, quickly battered by dusty oxidation, heading into quite warming alcohol. Too dusty for its own good, dry, but astringent too. Huh ... Too rough. New state tick tho!

Bottle sample at Farmhouse Fest 2022, pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out sour strawberries, with oak and a touch of bugs. Flavour is very sour, with lots of sour strawberries, light bugs, and moderate acidity. Not the most complex, but the strawberry character is nice. Too much acidity and not that complex. Alright.

Mild, sweet fruity flavour of grainy wheat malt, raspberry, cherry and floral hops in a dry, slightly tart finish. Light body with a watery texture and average carbonation. I really wanted to like this, but it was just too light for me. Not very sour, but easy to put back.

Roast and caramel. Coffee and some nut. Black pour with decent head. Plenty of yeast sediment floaties in the bottom. Light bitter finish. I've definitely had better from these guys. Can.
