Crisp for sure. Not so sure about the king of crisp, but definitely represents. Clear golden pour. Light bitter end. Decent noble hops. Can from mixed pack.

3$ can total wine st pete. Fairly clear pale. Clean fresh lager nose with a hint of cream corn. First taste is certainly general pilsner sharp bitter bite. Good level of carbonation. Getting some fresh cut grass. Bitterness builds towards the middle. Starting to feel like yer typical domestic attempt at a real pilsner, not quite getting there. Goes down fairly easy. In the end, the bitter bite continues to escalate to a solid long finish. Needs some manners.

Bottle shared by WillRunForBeer--thanks, Brian! Opaque, dark brown, light viscosity, with ring of head. Aroma is strong bourbon, dates, figs, mild tart fruit. Taste is strong earthy malt, oak, tart/sweet fruit. Frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Pretty decent.

500mL bottle shared by Willrunforbeer on 8/9/25.
Clear maple mahogany. Small, beige head.
Strong pepper and oak. Caramel, maple and more intense pepper. Too much oak? Not boozey, though.
Soft and caramelly with heavy pepper and lots of vanilla. Fairly rich but with punchy acidity. Soft and bready with caramel, toffee, brown bread. Were it not for all that leady bourbon and intense oak, I'd say it's done pretty well.

I haven't had the original in years but this tastes quite similar to what I remember. Nice work!

Pours near black with an lingering off white head that laces well. Smells of roast malt and coffee. The flavor is of dark roast malt, chocolate, and coffee. The body is a little thin. Nice roasty finish but it seems too sweet.Thisbis good for a N/A while not being as good as I’d hoped.

Can from Nugget Market in Woodland, CA. Pours brassy gold with a decent creamy white head. POG aroma. Med body. Smooth texture. Juicy and not entirely dry. Moderately bitter. POG flavor it is. Good stuff.
