Draught. Not a huge head. Nice aroma, chocolate without being overly sweet. Very nice. Good hops balance.

12 oz can from Wegmans, 5/8/25. Pours darker brown, light brown head. Very sweet. Chocolate, caramel, vanilla. Some bread and grains. Too one dimensional sweet flavor-wise for me. A little too sticky, but very smooth and easy drinking. Pretty good, but at this sweetness level one is more than enough.
8/7.5/6.5/7/7.5

Can, very light pale yellow, quick fading white head. Slight cream corn nose, otherwise just a clean fresh lager smell. First taste is very mild and easy going. Pleasantly surprised. Truly is a no-bitter good tasting pale lager. Friendly, civilized and refreshing. Good level of carbonation too! If it was as cheap as my other go too macro lagers, I'd buy it regularly.

Bottle pour (freshest taste, enjoy by 2/16/25) at 1833 Restaurant, Oberlin. Clear, dark amber with thin head, quickly fading to a ring, no lacing. Aroma is malt and vague holiday spice with vigorous sniff. Taste is strong holiday spices. Smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, finish as taste. Neither strong nor complex. Meh.
