Can (best before 3/2023) pour. It's a dark, dark brown--virtually opaque--with finger-width off-white creamy foam head with good retention and decent lacing. Aroma is strong roasted malt and chocolate. Taste is strong roasted malt, mild caramel and hint of chocolate. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nothing particularly surprising but good representative of the style with good strength for ABV.

Brewery draught, 5/19/22. Clear, bright, golden-brass. Small, white head is well-retained. Nose is soft, herbal, liberal hops with biscuit and honey-like malts. Clean, moderate mineral, no alcohol. Soft, malty, well-attenuated and crisply-hopped with fresh herbs and light spice. Great honey-like malt. Super clean. Hell yeah, lovely stuff.

Can (12/23/21) pour. It's a dark yellow with light sparkle, finger-width off-white foamy head with good retention and tons of soapy lacing. Aroma is strong grape and slightly vegetal over milder pineapple and citrus. Taste is strong pineapple rind and grape with late pine and background bread. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thick, smooth, frothy texture, lively carbonation, no sign of alcohol and crisp, dry finish as taste with lingering yeast and mild bitterness. Overall, decent complexity and strength. A bit over carbonated.

16oz can from Hops & Bottles. Dark golden hazy pour with a one finger foamy white head. Citrusy, piny aroma. Taste is fruity first, then piney hoppiness, mild astringent notes. Finishes mildly dry.

Pours coppery-amber with the thin white head. Aroma of resinous viney must, some licorice. Taste has dry bread notes, some rye-like elements. Palate has a yeasty finish, very strong toasted bread note that remains on the tongue and nose for quite awhile after. Not bad.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Clear golden pour with a one finger creamy head. Biscuity, grainy aroma. Taste follows with crisp, malty, bready flavors with a tiny bitter bite. Creamy feel.

Can does not say snappy, wtf? Ever so slight band-aid olfactory. Pours like any other lager but it is a little cloudy, a tad of a haze. Big foaming head, goes craggy. Taste is a little more than a 'house' lager, its got more personality than that. Yes, a little bit of a bite, it has. More than a keller should have, and I had a pretty good one the other day. I must say tho, the carbonation is exceptionally nice, cutting, entertaining. Band-aid carries over to the finish, almost like a saison. Not bad overall, but much more than a friendly house lager, you hoazer, hweheheheheh. Lots of wind in this one. Oh, wait, I think I do see 'snappy' in the fine print on the bottom of the label, go figger, rigger, digger.

Snappy! It's a lager. Better than macro. It was $2.05 a can. What more do you want?
