Can from CBC Liquors, Westford. Lightly hazy pale yellow, tons of sparkle, ephemeral thin head, no lacing. Aroma is moderately strong pale malts. Taste is strong malt, hint of fruit (corn?). Smooth, somewhat watery texture, soft carbonation, finish as taste. Good strength for a light lager.

Drank last night as a night cap. Probably should’ve saved though strong stuff. Deep amber pour and frothy head. Nose is rich caramel, dark fruit and barrel. Tastes of caramel, molasses, fig, dates, wood barrel, little spicy rye. Smoothbpalate. Boozy alcohol finish. Loved it

16 oz can. Aroma of caramel malt and soft mineral. Flavor of toasted bread, soft earth, light spice. Balanced with a soft Noble hop. Quite crisp. With some lingering toasted grain. Nice mineral element with absolutely no lingering sweetness. Very enjoyable lager.

Pours clear gold into a willi. White head with little retention crackles as it recedes to hug rim. Caramel and sourdough aromas. Spritzy with sweet bubblegum and banana front to back. Medium length banana finish. Weird.

Draft at the brewery with dinner. Big bright yellow and frothy white head. What a cartoon beer would look like. Nose is some bread and hints of citrus. Tatses of white breqd, grains, hay, some pepper, and lemon. Creamy bodied. Very crushable
