12oz can drunk 8/26/23 (undated can, which they've committed to, sadly). Grossly muddy pour with lots of sediment, despite a careful pour and leaving the last like 3 ounces in the can... Super-peppery hop nose. Mellow/mild, low ester/phenol but identifiable Belgian yeast. Mmmm, that hop is killer though. So much pepper, floral, herb, fresh cut grass.... A bit muddled in mouth, unfortunately. Kind of clovey, heavily phenolic, possibly alcoholic. Great texture/attenuation, but I keep gettting clovey, smokey, gluey notes. Not sure why this yeast is so low floccing, or maybe it's just too much hop sediment (that's more probable), yet it tastes messy as hell, whereas the hop sediment should just dull the flavor slightly. IDK. Need to get another can and let it sit in the fridge for a week (this one sat for 3 days).

Undated 12oz can drunk 8/24/23. Clear blonde-golden, hint of unfiltered haze. Foamy, white head, sits at cover. Oh yeah that's a beautiful nose. Big pepper, soft paper and dried wood, hint of apple and crisp yeast on the finish. Maybe a touch of soft Alsatian pinot gris. Clean as hell. Lots of biscuity, grainy malt, seemingly good attenuation. Juicy, floral, herbal hops with excellent malt character and pepper and good attenuation. Soft honey, clean, clear, crisp lager yeast with mineral on the finish.

16 oz can. Aroma is minerals, sourdough bread, and some soft lager yeast. The flavor has some old citrus upfront with the bready malt center. Finish is mild noble like hops. Crisp texture. Quite a nice mish-mash style lager.
