Cloudy gold yellow pour from can. Earthy aroma with malt. Bready, raisin, hunts of citrus from the hops. Unusual

Always love a new polotmavy tick. Bright and clear copper colored and frothy head. Nose is malty and spicy hops. Tastes of sweet malt, florals, bready, little peppery bite. Clean smooth palate.

Can, best by 1/20/26, drunk 9/26/25.
Clear amber. Big, frothy, dense, well-retained, fluffy, off-white head.
Smells excellent. Very hop-accented, though not overdone. Floral and herbal with big pepper notes but also a good deal of toasted bread and mineral. Some light honey-like pils malt on the very end softens and helps balance. Clean, of course.
Soft, malty, plenty of good pils malt without any big toastiness. But just enough lightly-toasted bread to define the style. Clean and hoppy but not over-hopped. Feels pretty traditional. Maybe a bit more attenuation on the very end would lend a more crisp, refreshing character, but I'm not complaining about the deep maltiness.

Can from One Stop. Nutty, toasty nose. Bready malt and caramel. Very rich. Deep amber orange with a medium head. Malty, fruity flavor with esters, some peach and apple. Herbal hops with relatively strong bitterness. Well put together. Maybe too bitter.

Pour is a clear copper with a large white head. Aroma is toasted bread and a little butterscotch. Flavor is pie crust cracker with some sweetness and a bit of bitter hops. A bit sweeter than I would have liked. Pretty average all around.

Unexpectedly sweet, lots of honey and sugary grain cereal with an undercurrent of apple and toast, finished off by a firm floral bitterness. Not bad.

Can, best before 10/14/25, drunk 8/5/25.
Clear bronzey-golden. Medium-sized, white head, steadily to spotty cover.
Not a ton of aromatics. Soft honey and soft, lightly floral, heathery hops. Wouldn't have guessed NZ. Maybe some vague fruit salad-like Motueka? Clean, though.
Biscuit and honey with lime zest and light fruit salad-like Motueka. A bit doughy, soft, flabby, with artificial carbonation and high filtration taking its toll on the texture. Good bitterness on the finish. Clean. Incredibly unexciting and a touch too sweet. Pretty big miss from these guys who have been on a huge roll lately.
