Can to becher glass.
Appearance: very dark brown close to black in the middle but also dark red hues close to the bottom of the glass with a three finger off white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy fruity to piney danky hops with some baker's chocolate and coffee bitterness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a bitter to roasty and sweet quality; finishes bitter, roasty dry and a touch of sweetness
Texture: medium bodied - maybe just a bit under; slightly sessionable; some smoothness and somewhat weak compare to other black IPA's in it's palate wrecking capabilities
Overall: not a bad attempt at the style but not up there with the best ones.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely and barely left any lace
Aroma: sweet corn notes, super light floral hops
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together in a big sweet sort of way; finishes malty corn-like sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; great smoothness with a slight creamy tone to it; good carb level and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I say it's not bad as a cream ale - maybe would have this again.

Can to becher glass. Consumed 09/05/2022
Appearance: clear copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head and somewhat rocky on top which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to piney danky hop toned with a crisp sweet malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together in a fine sweet malty quality and hops seemed way more faded here; but then it finishes crisp and slightly piney
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness and nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: not a bad beer and was my first ever "supposed" "cold IPA" I ever had but not my first IPL, wink wink...

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: biscuity/bready malts with a sweet hop tone of some floral tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes the same way with a little bit of dryness
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; good smoothness and nothing distracting anywhere, good carb level
Overall: not a bad crushable pale lager probably wouldn't be bad to grab some cans of to take fishing.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: ruddy dark brown with some purple hues; two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart blackberry tones up front then some rhubarb sweetness with a light sweet wheaty middle then some light lemon-like fresh scents underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of different sweet qualities; finishes mostly with the blackberries and wheat as the rhubarb is there but way fainter
Texture: light to medium bodied; great sessionability; some smoothness but also some tart assertiveness to the tongue - just noticeable and nothing offensive
Overall: pretty good fruited wheat ale though I was hoping for a bit more rhubarb but no worries, I'd still come back to this as it might be a good one to have as a post yard work beer.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: coffee roastiness, baker's chocolate and some coconut
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to semi-dry sweet to toasty character with the coconut sliding in underneath nicely; finishes semi-dry and kinda coffee-ish
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness - nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: twas nice that the coconut wasn't overbearing and that it didn't smell or taste like sun tan lotion. Thank you, Mill River.

Aroma: sweet caramel notes; earthy/tree bark notes; some coffee grounds, light cocoa powdery tones and bready notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to earthy bitter character; finishes semi-dry with sweet earthy to caramel and bready hints

Overall: mostly works for me as a Dunkel lager, I could return to this beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: opaque yellow haziness with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated fairly quick and barely left any lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hops with some sweet piney hops and a touch of orange pulpiness; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juiciness to a bittersweet juicy quality; finishes orangey to mixed citrusy juicy sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness as I believe the hop bitterness assertiveness could be a bit lowered just a little more, mostly good carb level - low-ish
Overall: for the most part part it's well brewed and I think I could bang this one again.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark amber/auburn color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: crisp smooth bready/biscuity malts with a clean caramel scent and a light earthy hop whiff underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet bready to biscuity sweetness; finishes very clean those flavors
Texture: medium to full bodied; sessionable; clean smoothness - nothing bothersome anywhere; good carb level - kinda low
Overall: an extremely well done Marzen I would surely have the next time this is available!
