16 oz. can
6.3% ABV
Date: 07/25/25. There is nothing to indicate what the date is for, so I will just assume that it is the "packaged on" date.
$12.79 4-pk @ Publix
AROMA: Moderately sweet with scents of caramel and malt. It's a fairly simple aroma, but alluring, nonetheless.
APPEARANCE: Pours a cloudy, golden brown with a medium (just barely 2-finger) head that dissipates somewhat quickly with minimal lacing. With the cloudiness and color, it looks a lot like a headless Hefeweizen.
TASTE: Slightly sweet on the front-end with mild bitterness on the back-end. The flavors are a bit muted and muddled, but I can pick out caramel and bread, and maybe a fleeting hint of orange peel at the very end. Don't get me wrong, there is flavor here, just nothing that I can find readily distinguishable. Although, as the beer warms, the caramel flavor becomes easier to detect and I also get a touch of honey.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly crisp texture. I would rate carbonation as average. The finish is medium-dry.
OVERALL: There's something about this beer that just seems a little "off" for a Märzen. I'm not sure, but I think it may be the level of dryness that I find odd. All-in-all, it seems to be a well-crafted beer. However, I'm still wrestling with how I feel about the beer.
I won't say that I love this beer, nor will I say that I hate it. I'm truly unsure if I would buy it again. But if I do, I know I won't be disappointed.

Can (2/27/25) from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Cloudy light brown (like pale cider) with slight reddish hue, nice sparkle, thin head with fair retention and light lacing. Aroma is strawberry, sweet malt/biscuit, vanilla. Taste follows aroma. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Certainly get the strawberry shortcake but it both avoids getting too sweet and overtaking base ale. Thankful for second opportunity to taste the brewery.

A more malt-heavy golden ale, in its own way, with a lot of cracker and a clean middle laced with apple and a floral bitterness with a touch of toast on the finish. Not bad.

16 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a pitch black color with a tight, light tan head and good retention. Very good lacing. Dark roasted aroma, with a hint of coffee and faint molasses. The flavor is similar to the aroma: Dark roasted malt/barley, with limited coffee notes and some bitter dark chocolate in the finish. Very clean and smooth. Semi-creamy texture. Medium-light body. Low carbonation. Low bitterness. A really good stout.

$4 single from Appalachian. I saw sixers on the shelf & assumed it was fresh. Canned 12/10/24, so sort of on me.
Mojito glass at home. Pink guava-red plum color, lightly hazy, lingering thin head.
Sour, jammy, cherry-berry-plum nose; slight citrus soap.
Taste is tart & sharp plum with strawberry PopTart.
Thin & everlasting froth. Bite-y acid. I don't think the base is a kettle. Tannins on the tail. Slight headache. This is nice.
Cheers.

Month old pint can
A: Clear turbulent gold body with a thick, lasting white head. Great retention and stringy lace.
