Pounder can. Clear golden pale. Rapidly fading white head. Lager beery smell. Smoother uptake, some hay and a tad of processed feel in there. Easy going and somewhat friendly. Good co2 level. Surprizing to get a little booziness in the middle, considering this is only 4.5%. Yes, this is quaffable. Not many ill ale effects. Finishes with some vienna sweetness.

Smells of bourbon and spicy malt. The flavor is bourbon led with winter spices and caramel malt. It’s sweet and malty but not overly so, a tasty bourbon ale with spices that are noticeable but not strong. Quite enjoyable.

Pours deep amber with a small head. The aroma is full of bourbon and there’s some caramel malt. The flavor is sweet and malty with caramel and a whole lot of bourbon. It’s warming and dangerously drinkable at 11%.

Clear pale from a can. Lots of tropical fruit aroma. First taste is better than expected; I didn't know it was a tart but I'm glad it is! Quite bubbly and friendly to boot. Good level of co2 sizzle combined with tartness almost makes my mouth pucker. Fun stuff, could drink a few more cans of this lovely brew. Nicely done, hides alky well. Zesty finish.
