8/10/2018. Can from my local post office stores. Pours pale gold with a bubbly just off-white head. Aroma of sweet malt, grains, fruit, caramel, some alcohol and metal. Medium to heavy sweetness, moderate and developing bitterness. Medium body, sticky texture, average to soft carbonation. Grainy, biscuity finish. Better than expected, but couldn't drink the normal 6 can measure.
