Can at the DC post-Thanksgiving 2021 gathering. Poured a mostly clear brown color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pleasant smoke, with a touch of jerky. Flavor was light sweetness, light malt with a pleasant smoke.

Tap at Human Robot. A robust, unfiltered Pils. Pacifica is generally boring enough to dull most beer out, and recent Motueka doesn't seem to be shining quite the same. Well made, creamier than typical, but the NZ part doesn't really shine.

Deep, unfiltered amber-brown body. Steady, big, beige head. Sweet, rather big on what I perceive as specialty malts; give its a little bit of a sugary feel. Grew on me as I drank at the 4pack. Has more of a Celebrator tone than most of its peers, but drinks a little bigger. Unique, really delves into the style.
