Can to lager glass.
Appearance: semi-transparent amber color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, caramel/toffee character, herbal/earthy hops, light black tea
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together semi-sweetly, mild aftertaste of nuts, caramel and earthiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along tongue; finishes crisp and nutty smooth
Overall: I say a nicely done amber lager worthy of coming back to.

Can from Steve. Lightly hazy yellow, ring of head, light viscosity and lacing. Aroma is strong lemon citrus. Taste is strong lemon--somewhat industrial, late malt. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste with light bitterness. Not sure if the hops are going over as this is a bit malty, but the hops that are there are a bit off.

16 oz can, thank you tfontana for the share. Aroma is bold malt and soft florals. Flavor follows with a touch of citrus. Don’t know the age but… it is pretty malty. Meh. Not a lot of character.

Can from Eddy's Beverage Inc., Saratoga Springs. Cloudy dark yellow-light brown with nice sparkle, thin head with excellent retention, light soapy lacing. Aroma is apricot, citrus, pine, biscuit. Taste is stronger version of aroma with substantial caramel malt and hint of winter spices/cinnamon. Smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Hops deliver on description but likely a little old as malt contribution a bit high in the mix. Wintry spices a bit unexpected.

Can from Oliver's Beverage, Albany. Lightly hazy pale yellow, some large floaties, excellent sparkle, thin head with good retention and light lacing. Aroma is dark fruit/berry (almost bourbon), caramel malt, slight wert. Taste is strong caramel/wert, pine, pineapple rind. Smooth, creamy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Weird in a number of ways. Not typical haze. Then, the can says "Best enjoyed fresh while dreaming of distant shores" but this can't possibly be fresh--too malty, werty. Wish I had this fresh.

Chestnut colour and tiny white head. Honeyish, a bit spicey aroma with vanilla. Medium-bodied. Honey, spices, alcohol, vanilla in the flavour. A bit woody.

On tap at Nags bar and Kitchen Oneonta NY
Just a touch of chill haze in this light gold beverage with a decent sized bubbly white head that shows decent retention. Spicy floral hops against a nice bready crackery malt base. Pretty nice pilsner.
