Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: amber to red color with a two finger white foamy head, dissipated to leave some messy lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee malts, subtle piney hops
Flavor: semi-sweet through the prior noted aromas; mild malty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, mostly sessionable, smooth malty finish
Overall: I'd say it works as an old school-ish red ale I'd have again.

16 oz. Can. Aroma of chocolate, weak coffee, caramel. Flavor follows with a smooth velvety texture. Good body for the gravity. Not overly sweet. A classic, straightforward Milk Stout.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Coriander and citrus aromas. Crisp with banana and bubblegum front to back. Medium length, dry overripe banana skin finish.

Can (2/18/25) from trade with CLW--thanks, Chris! Deeply hazy orange-light brown-dark yellow with tons of sparkle, ample head with excellent retention, nice rings of lacing. Aroma is strong candied orange, milder apricot. Taste follows aroma. Smooth texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Strong taste and aroma, though not complex. Good.

16 oz can. Aroma of tangerine and mandarin oranges. Flavors Boulder, with citrus and shows hints of earth and very mild pine. Soft mouth filled with steady amount of bitterness after seven. Quite balanced and it’s definitely a traditional imperial IPA. Enjoyable when you are looking for a old school character.

16 oz can. Aroma is soft Noble hops and Pilsner malt. Pilsner malt showing mild honey and maybe weak pear. Noble hops to provide some citrus pith bitterness. Not bold or astringent. Light body. Ends clean with a very crisp texture.

Bottle: Poured a dark brown color ale with a small dark brown foamy head with light retention and minor lacing. Aroma of caramelized malt with light dry fruit notes with some vanilla and bourbon notes. Taste is also a good mix of caramelized malt notes with some vanilla and bourbon with light dry fruit notes and some balanced residual sugar notes. Body is pretty full with some good carbonation. Soldi BA barleywine.
