Cloudy blond colour. Juicy hops, some tropical accent, and sweet citrus; the mouthfeel is creamy, oaty, and the bitterness level is respectable.
I would not have guessed this is a Lager; it's very good.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!) shared with Ryan @ Alex's. Appearance: murky golden with a white head. Aroma: loads of car exhausts, veeery dank. Taste: juicy, lots of tropical fruits, some sweetness, dankness. Overall: quite unusual and complex, nice one.

Poured from 473mL can (pkg 14 Sept 2022). Quite hazy yellow with small white head. Juicy citrus and tropical hops, lager underlay. Could have a touch more follow through, but pretty good.

16oz (thx, Brian C.!) shared with Ryan @ Alex's. Appearance: cloudy blonde with a white head. Aroma: juicy hops, tropical fruits, not much of lager aroma cause they don't really used typical lager hops. Taste: quite hoppy, a mix of lager and ale. Overall: good enough.

Murky blond colour. Fruity aroma, not dank like I'm used to, with Mosaic. Full bodied, mildly sweet, nice juice; it's not chalky, not vegetable, and it has balanced bitterness.
Very good.

Dark, close to black, with no head. Aroma of raisins, chocolate, bourbon. Full bodied, with salty chocolate, touch of liquorice, nutty but not evidence of maple, some bourbon, and booze in the finish.
It's good, bold, but less than harmonious.
