Can: Poured a clear golden color lager with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of clean cereal notes with light residual sugar notes offset by floral hosp notes. Taste is amix of clean cereal notes with a light dry floral hoppy finish with faint residual sugar notes. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Easy drinking lager with light floral hops notes.

Collab with Craft & Carry. Didn't check the canning date and it turned out to be 6 months old. Pours light hazy yellow golden colour and a white head. Aroma's: slightly stale, fruity. Retronasal: stale-ish, sweetish, a bit cardboard. Flavour is light bitter, light sweet, light fruity sour. Medium bodied. Fairly high carbonation. Finished a bit dry, light moderate bitter. Clearly not fresh...

Pours a hazy yellow golden body and a frothy, sticky white head with good retention. Aroma's: from the can it's pretty dank and juicy; from the glass it's juicy, mostly tropical, soft fruit. Retronasal it's tropical soft fruit and a bit resinous. Flavour is light bitter, light sweet, juicy, somewhat zesty. Light bodied. Fairly high carbonation. Moderate bitter finish. Pleasant and crushable.

Pours a hazy golden with a huge, fluffy, white head. Aroma of lemon, simcoe, mosaic. Taste has lightly floral notes, some grassy elements, pine. Palate has light pine lingering on the nose, mildly tropical. Oat flakes moderate this beer well. Delicate.

Ever so slightly hazy golden and peach coloured body with a thinnish off-white head that fades quickly. Aroma of very fresh and bitter hops with some grapefruit, light pine and resin noticeable, along with a dash of malts and a little sweetness as well. Light to Medium-bodied; Fairly mild malt profile at first that shows a little biscuity elements, but some subtle sweetness and yeast flavours as well, with more of the flavours coming from the hops of course and a dash of pepper and resin towards the end. Aftertaste shows some dryness, hardly any sweetness, but a good crisp and fairly bitter hop bite from the larger hop presence, but almost nothing from the malts nor any real alcohol burn at all. Overall, a soft and understated IPA that shows not enough malts for the style and only a sliver of the hop aspects here, but some mild bitterness and subtle sweetness makes this passable. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park), New York on 02-May-2021 for US$3,99, sampled a few minutes before hiking the Dark Hollow Falls in the National Park, with my wife and three kids on 15-May-2021.

CAn at home. More amber cherry colored than traditional black. Nose is toffee and earth. Tastes of leaf litter, cherry, caramel. Thin bodied. Not all that schwarzbier feeling.
