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.

Pint on tap at 1833 Restaurant, Oberlin. Clear, golden yellow with mild sparkle, ring of head and light lacing. Aroma is candied fruit, hint of tart fruit. Taste is strong candied fruit (stone), hint of dank. Smooth texture, lively carbonation, finish as taste. Flavor much stronger than aroma; mild danky tartness.

Pint on tap at 1833 Restaurant, Oberlin. Clear, dark amber, light sparkle, no head and no lacing. Aroma is strong caramel, light spice. Taste mirrors aroma. Smooth texture, medium bodied, finish as taste. A typically boring style for me but at least there is excellent strength and some interest with the spiciness.
