Can to mug.
Appearance: dark brown pour and definitely darker in the glass almost black with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace then left some mild messy lace
Aroma: dark bread/pumpernickel tones with some molasses, cocoa butter and cocoa powder scents and some sweet earthy notes, ever so slight ash but comes across in a sweet sort of way
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet cocoa-like and earthy conglomeration; finishes with a pinch of dryness and a little bit of cocoa powder & dark bread
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; pretty sessiomable; good smoothness and a very little bit of stickiness; great carb level
Overall: a very nicely done Czech dark lager very worthy of coming back to.

Can to stange.
Appearance: clear yellow/golden color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to rustic grains with some honey and a touch of clean skunky/earthy whiffs - the skunkiness seems to dissipate in time and seems more or less just barely a memory if that
Flavor: runs into a fine sweet to earthy spiced quality with a tickle of some biscuity/breadiness in a back wave; finishes crisp, malty and sweet with a touch of spice
Texture: light to medium bodied; very sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; good carb level; and just a wee bit of stickiness but nothing bothersome
Overall: pretty good Kolsch even if I did get a little bit of skunkiness in the beginning but even that seemed nondescript enough for nothing to worry about. I'd come back to this.

Pours slightly hazed gold into a willi. Bright white head with excellent retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Bread, hay and melon aromas. Crisp with sweet berry and melon upfront turning to earthy hay before the lasting pith finish. Nice.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: great looking pale yellow color with substantial cloudiness and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace then left some light messy lace
Aroma: lemony bittersweet hops up front, some sweet wheat and a soft banana estery sweet to semi-spicy undertone
Flavor: does a great job of combining the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet hoppy and wheaty quality; finishes lemony, wheaty and hoppy bitter
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with a respectful carb level and nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: really felt, smelled and tasted great sitting out on my deck grilling some brats later for the gf, her daughter and my son. Why of course I would return to this!
