Well, from a can its not purple, dull surprise. Slight smell flowers, just barely. Pale yellow slight haze. Taste is so weird, that lavender in there makes it quite rude. Really, kind of a bitter veggie effect in there. Hard to stomach. Pretty bad, not what was expected. I think I've tasted other lavender beers but this is ridiculous. Yea I just checked and I see I've had much better lavender brews from beaver brewing in beaver falls and one from north country, much better. Sharp big biting not pils impact. Nasty finish. Worse than many poorly made IPA.

From a 3$ can from vintage. Pour is like darker iced tea. Aroma is rather malty. First taste is surprizingly mild roast, wasn't expecting that. Hints of dunkel in there. Yes, somewhat vienna. Not sure if I can pick out the oak aged in there. Its not totally in yer face. Comes across rather mild for a 5.5 percenter. Yes, some nuts, perhaps. Not bad for a vienna.

Darker brew, looks like lighter colored rootbeer, with a root beer head as well. Smell is volatile malt. Thicker alky laced back feeling. Don't care much for the spices but I'm diggen the bock impact. It goes down so easy, I think its hitten me in the brain as I get close to the bottom of the can. Yea, pretty good bock.

Can thanks to Drake. Small pale gold pours, giant off-white head, jesus.... Soap, yeast, grsase, coriander nose. Flvaor is coriander, wheat, grass. Has a good backbone, and it's not bad, but it feels a bit less than fresh (and I don't think i's all that old).

12 ounce can 9/9/20. Hazy orange, VERY large foamy white head, fair retention. Aroma of bread, spice, plastic. I fear its infected. Taste is tart fruits, pale malt, spice. Yeah, it's off, but still drinkable.

Quite good; solid entry for my Saison Monday. This is yet another can from this Chicago brewery that says β€œMadison, WI.” Wonder what the deal is, and wonder who brewed it.
