12 ounce bottle. Number one with a bullet. Dark copper color. Rocky tan head. Toasted malt aroma has notes or caramel and toasted bread. Toasted malt flavor upfront. Dark brown sugar notes along with a hint of cinnamon. Decent.

Bottle at Shaffer's BBQ in Middletown VA: Grass nose, somewhat vegetal. Clear amber, thin head. Grass, DMS. Medium body, easy carbonation. While I loved the pilsner from this variety pack, this IPA was fairly flawed.

Grass and kale nose. Crystal clear yellow, thin head. Grass. Light body, moderate carbonation. Nice noble hop presence, clean, and delicious. Saranac isn't often considered an elite brewery, but this is an outstandingly well made pilsner.

12 ounce bottle from Methadone Kitty thanks to hershiser2! Hazy orange large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, mango, melon, pale malt. Taste is tangerine, lemon, mango, grapefruit, pale malt. A bit thin, mildly juicy, low bitterness. Decent, but needs a little something.

12 ounce bottle from a mixed pack from Food LOIN! Nice typo @hershiser2 (and the beer thanks to you as well). Hazy orange, thin white head, good retention. Aroma of tangerine, lemongrass. Taste is tangerine, lemon, pale malt. Medium bodied, moderate bitterness. Kinda one note, but, decent.
