Like others, I'm assuming the date is the package date, and mine tasted fresh enough. Dated 7/16/26, drank before the end of July 2026. This is a fair enough beer, closer to vienna than marzen methinks. Gold but leans a darker amber, modest head, nicely effervescent. Lightly spiced hop presentation, balanced malt profile with lightly sweet caramel and bready notes. Moderately bitter finish. This is a really good all around lager that has plenty of malt and hop flavors, medium body but not heavy, but not thin. Can from Pats Liquor Leaf and Wine (Oviedo FL near UCF)

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a cloudy applesauce color with an off-white head and great retention. Decent lacing. Light citrus and hops aroma. Sweet and juicy light orange and vanilla notes to start with only minor hops and bitterness in the finish. Finally an IPA that I can actually drink! Medium body and medium carbonation. Restrained bitterness. Enjoyable.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a small white head and fair retention. Zero lacing. Sweet cake aroma. Light strawberry and vanilla flavor in a light wheat base beer. The aroma has stronger shortcake notes than the flavor. Nicely sweet. Not overly fruity. Refreshing. Light body. Medium carbonation. Not bitter.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours an opaque gold color with a thick, bright white head and great retention. Fair lacing. Sharp bitter aroma. The taste follows the nose: Very faint juicy notes to start, followed by moderate, sharp bitterness in the finish. Too much IPA and not enough hazy in my opinion. Medium body. Medium carbonation. Medium bitterness. At least the 7.0% ABV is well hidden. Just because it looks hazy doesn't make it a hazy IPA.
