Can from Colonial Spirits. Very pale yellow with a 7-Up head. Nose is lemony hops, lemon line soda and very light malt. Lightly sweet and malty, a bit grainy, grassy with citrus. Very light but not quite watery. Better than macro light beers.

Pour is a chill hazed gold with a large white head. Aroma is cracker malt with a little wet dough. Flavor is more doughy malt with a clean cracked finish. Decent malty Helles.

Can from One Stop. Deep golden color, clear, with a tall, fine head. Rich malty nose, white bread and biscuits, orange and stone fruit. Lovely nose with no toast or caramel. Rich and sweet.. quite bready and also estery. Light to medium bitterness. Very nice modern style festbier.

Pretty classic Marshmallow nose, not over sweet,

2Framinghammer SbS. Lots of clear cashew, caramel and chocolate here. Smooth with a nice finish. Touch of booze as it warms

Nice pint, like Jack’s Abby taking a stab at classic Sam Adams and coming up with its maltier, more bitter cousin. Makes for a good beer, if missing the subtleties of Boston Lager. Lots of caramel, toast, and a firm floral bitterness. Tasty.

Cask at GBBF 25. Aroma is malty and tangy sour. Hazy-opaque amber. Frothy foamy translucent white head soon disappears. Flavourwise it has some spice. Some caramel. A hint of citrus. Light-medium bodied. Slick. Sticky. Soft-fizzy carbonation. Long dry slightly astringent finish. Slips down but then almost forgot what I'd been drinking.
