On tap at The Beer Junction, pours a deep dark amber mahogany with a small beige head. Aroma reveals toasted chestnuts, dry caramel and bready malt. Flavour is malty and yet dry, with lots of toasted caramel, bready malt, and a hint of holiday spice. Nice maltiness that is just dry enough.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 22, 2023. Aroma is malt forward with nice bready, grain notes. Hints of woody, herbal hops and faint alcohol notes. Pours a clear, brilliant, yellow-gold with a medium sized thick, pillowy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderate lacing and faint legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with medium light bready, grain notes. Moderate bitterness and hints of alcohol. Moderately strong woody, herbal hop notes that linger in the crisp, dry finish. Mouthfeel is light bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid Italian pilsner. Perhaps a bit strong on the hop flavor and bitterness. Crisp, dry body and finish with decent grain notes.

Poured from 473mL can. Clear yellow gold with small white head. Clean and crisp with very feint smoked note (quite hidden). Enjoyable, but needs more smoke for a rauch style.

473mL can, pours a clear blonde with a medium white head. Aroma is gentle, with herbal/grassy hops, crisp biscuity malt, and some straw. Flavour is very light on the smoke -- just seems like a normal helles in this regard -- with gentle grassy hops, toasted grains, and straw. The smoke is super subtle. Pleasant stuff.

Poured from a 16 oz can dated October 27, 2023. Aroma is hop forward with nice citrus, stone fruit and lighter floral notes.wity hints of melon. Light cracker malt notes and hints of alcohol. Pours a very clear, brilliant, yellow-gold with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. High amount of lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with light cracker malt notes. Moderately strong bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderately strong citrus and stone fruit hop notes with quite a bit of a floral character as well. Lighter dank, resin, pine notes that linger into the finish. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation and a fairly crisp, dry finish. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid IPA that is definitely crisp and easy drinking. I think I prefer IPAs with a stronger hop aroma and flavor, but this is really nice and works well with the clean, crisp malt notes.
gave a cheers!

Poured from a 16 oz can dated September 22, 2023. Aroma is hop forward with moderately strong hop notes of strawberry, stone fruit and hints of citrus. Light dank, resin notes. Hints of cracker malt notes and light alcohol notes. Pours a slightly hazy, pale, yellow gold with a large, thick, fluffy, white head that recedes slowly to a small film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with light grain notes. Fairly high bitterness and light alcohol notes. Moderate hop notes with light strawberry, stone fruit and citrus notes. Moderately strong, lingering, dank, resin notes. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with a crisp, dry finish and medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a solid cold IPA. I like the aroma, but the fruitiness is lost behind the dank, resin notes in the flavor. Crisp, dry finish. Not my favorite hop profile in the flavor.
