Can. Pours cloudy brownish dark yellow with a small creamy beige head, faint caramel aroma, low carbonation, bitter caramel malt taste with faint coffee taste, lightly sour, thin body, long finish with an alcohol kick at the end. Smooth and easy to drink despite the ABV.

pours brown with a large beige to light brown head. looks a bit like a Vienna.
aroma is nutty, chestnuts, roasted malts (not like a stout, more like a vienna) faint slightly sweet note like somewhere betweeen sweet nuts and flowers. very faint smoked malty note. If i had blindtested this, i would've guessed vienna.
flavor is sweet nutty, bitter nutty, toasted malty - but not overly sweet, also tastes like a vienna, only it's quite flavorful.

Clouded yellow from bottle. Smells of ginger and citrus and spice. Tart, salty lemony. Refreshing.
