Clear pale from a $3 can at total wine. Constant streaming co2 in the eye. Fresh slightly sharp pils nose. Taste? At first, its a little fruity then some of that pilsner bitter bite sets in. Mind you, its not overly or terribly sharp, like so many poorly made domestic attempts; its more like the real thing from the old country. Perhaps maybe it approaches the mildness of the macro american lagers that call themselves pilsners, hehehehh. Rather medium mild in personality, and I like that. Going down fairly easy. Good level of co2 throughout, but could use more. In the middle. But yet, on the finish, the medium sharp bitter pils bite never lets you forget it truly is a real pilsner. Not bad overall.

Big pounder can. Nice big black pour with a choco moose head. Nose is mildly reminiscent of chocolate. Taste is quite sweet. A little boozy, probably should be styled as an impy stout, has lots of impy stout qualities. A little difficult, some unsweetened bitter baking chocolate in the middle. Bitter burnt charred wood. Barely any carbonation but its there if you seek it out. Charred parched scorched wood finish.
