On draught at Bob's Bar.

Pours clear copper with a one finger head. Caramel malt aroma. It tastes sweet with toasted caramel malt and a touch of hops. It’s alright, if forgettable.

Pint at RAUM pours a clear orange with some lacey white head. Old school nose, citrus and pine and soap and honey. Flavor is the same. Decidedly old school. Bitter and off dry finish.

Can

Sample at Daily Growler Powell.

Can. A- Coriander, wheat. A- Yellow color, hazy liquid, white head. T- Lemon, coriander, wheat. P- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish. O- A very good representation of the style. Wanted more. Tasty.

Nice and crisp copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, one centimetre tall off-white head that fades relatively quickly. Aroma of bread, yeast, light grain, hay, flowers and a dash of caramel with some toffee and even a light nuttiness on the end, but the majority of the scent is malts and earthiness. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong nutty and earthy notes dominate at first with a lot of caramelised sugars, toffee, grain and flowers here along with some nuts and assertive malted barley that persists and leaves off some of the yeast and bread here, but the punch packed is nice and robust, especially for the style. Aftertaste shows hay, grass, flowers, earth, nuts, toffee, caramelised sugars and especially breadiness from the leftover yeasts that permeate throughout, but provide enough sugars to make this rich, robust and complex, especially on the backside. Overall, a nice and robust, fairly full-bodied and flavour-packed beer that has a good deal of complexity for being a lager, but enough of a crisp and easy-drinking profile to ensure that it still feels like a lager and shows enough complexity to be robust and worthy of the month. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Kroger in Dayton, Ohio on 10-August-2021 for US$1,87 sampled at my house here in Washington on 18-October-2021.

Can. A- Mango, apple, sweet. A- Gold color, clear liquid, white head. T- Mango, apple, slightly tart, medium sweetness. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, refreshing finish. O- Loads of fresh fruit straight from the orchards. Lots of mango backed up by apple. Tangerine is there but only adds to the general citrusy notes. Really thirst quenching. Borderline cider like.

The pour comes out of the can as a bit of a rosé, still a little pinkish, very busy head that goes away, leaving a lot of bubbles to rise up the column of the glass. Smell has nice notes of tart, tropical fruit. There taste has nice prickly pear up front. Not much malt. The tart fruit works with the lighter malt load to keep this a nice dry concoction. How should I describe… tart right up there, but not actually sour. Reminded of Mexican lagers with agave, but even more so. Glad to be having this by the grill (my usual beer sipping spot) when it's 90 out here.
