On tap at Big Fatty's, White River Junction, VT on 05/18/2018
Appearance: mellow orange haziness; quarter finger's worth of white frothy head which settled off nicely but didn't leave any lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy hops, stifled piney hops and some biscuity to caramel-ish malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality in a semi-old school sort of way; finishes citrusy and caramel malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a medium hop assertiveness
Overall: not bad, maybe again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: soft citrusy/semi-floral hops - crisp & kinda snappy with a super light clean crackery malty underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet malty quality; finishes crisp and semi-floral
Texture: light bodied; sessionable; clean smoothness - nothing distracting anywhere; nice carb level
Overall: nicely done pilsener that seems to be closer to a Czech one.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki frothy head which slipped off at a moderate pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, roasty tones, some roasty coffee, light coconut and sweet cream
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to sweet coffee & chocolatey sweetness; finishes the same
Texture: medium bodied; semi-sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue - nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: well worth coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: great looking pale orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which sustained nicely then once dissolved light lace clung to the glass.
Aroma: oranges, mangoes, pineapples, slight lemons and a touch of kiwi and seems just a kiss of rye floral sweetness; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a beautiful fully bittersweet juicy toned quality; finishes leading with some oranges, pineapples and seems to have some white grape-like tones here
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper; good smoothness - nothing distracting; nice low carb; good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: one RR's best beers right here, this is superior!

Can to mug.
Appearance: chill haze yellow to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which took it's time to disintegrate then leave barely any lace
Aroma: nice little hop spice - semi-floral, herbal and soft grassy toned; honey-ed biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: does a fine job of meshing the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-spicy, floral sweet and malty sweet quality; finishes semi-crisp through the floral/grass spicy toned hops and honey-ed biscuity character
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness - I love how the biscuity malts scale some of the hop spices down a little bit here
Overall: I say a nice Czech pilsener that I would return to.
