Dark honey, dinner rolls aroma. Clear copper, thin tan head. Dark honey, dandelion, bread. Medium body, easy carbonation. Either I haven't a heller bock in awhile or this is a throwback to an earlier time. I'm sensing strong nostalgia with this one. Very nicely done.

16 oz can. Poured a very hazy orange color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was orange, grapefruit. Zesty, herbal, with some pine and grapefruit orange. Really smooth, easy to drink. Liked this one quite a bit.

Mostly clear golden coloured body with a very large, four to five centimetre tall, off-white head that's quite soapy and leaving a funky lace on the sides and on top. Aroma of grass, hay, some flowers and a slight scent of the sugars and some rustic, biscuity earthy malts, especially at the end. Light-bodied; Relatively dry and grassy notes show at first with a soft but noticeable hop bitterness and some supportive malt notes and a light sweetness that seems to come from stone fruits of apricots with a nice balance throughout. Aftertaste shows a nice level of hop bitterness from the alpha acids here, some soft sugars that are enjoyable and relatively complex and a good malt backbone makes this quite robust and flavourful, especially for the low ABV. Overall, a nice IPA, near 'Light' status that has some good flavours, a light bitterness and some smooth sugars, but the balance is struck nicely here. Great to try just three days before heading BACK to Big Meadows - this time camping with my wife and three kids. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from The Big Meadows Wayside (of course!) on 19-June-2022 at Shenandoah National Park in 'Luray', Virginia for US$1,69, canned on 23-May-2022 and sampled at my house here in Washington on 06-July-2022.
