$3.35 pint can, WW. The Great Debate was whether I should start off with a 9.1%-er... that debate lasted 10 seconds. Pours nearly black with a small tan head. Dark and milk chocolate nose, cocoa as well. Both milk and dark chocolate, roasted malt, light char, toasted bread crust, a bit of ash in the end. Slightly gritty too. Not loving it.

Can from Chris M: pours slightly hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is slight coriander, citrus. This is a little older than it should be. Pretty bitter, wit characteristics are muted, not great.

Rosehip, coriander. Hazy golden, thin head. Rosehip, coriander, celery., clay. Light, watery.

12 ounce can from Kroger Rio Hill, 2/21/21. Hazy orange, large white head, good retention. Aroma of pale malt, corn chips, lime. Taste is pale malt, corn, lime, toast. Medium bodied, crisp.

Pint can thanks to hershiser2! 1/31/21. Brownish-red, slight haze, large tan head, good retention. Aroma of brown sugar, vanilla, pecan. Taste is caramel, brown sugar, vanilla, leafy notes, nuts. Medium bodied, low bitterness. Nice.

$5.85 bottle, WW. I probably shouldn't have this tonight, but I feel like I need it. Black pour, dusting of a head. Bourbon, roasted malt, chocolate, wood nose. Flavor is bourbon, dark chocolate, wood, cola. You can tell the booze is there, but it doesn't seem as high as it is. Tasty, but also slightly disappointing.

Bottle. A- Grains, straw, mild lemon. A- Yellow color, clear liquid, white head. T- Grains, mild lemon, subtle wheat. P- Medium body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly crisp finish. O- Not a bad pils. Enjoy the name. Wish it was a bit crisper and drier but all in all an easy drinker.

Pint can, WW. Hazy brown with a small beige head. Carmel, toasted nuts in the nose. Flavor is bitter toasted nuts, caramel (not sweet), green leaf, hint of chocolate malt, hand soap. Nothing here pie-like. Meh.

Can, Kroger @ Rio Hill. Golden, light haze, dusting of a white head. Corn, hint of fruit, almost effing pipe tobacco in that fruitiness. Flavor is grasses, corn. Lightly sweet, low carbonation makes this feel flat.

Very clear copper and bronze coloured body with a thinnish, single centimetre tall, just off-white head that stays afloat nicely, but is small. Aroma of grain, light nuts, earth, flowers and a dash of light caramelised sugar and a good deal of yeast still in the mix. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong grassy and very malty flavours dominate with a very nutty and biscuity malt note with some apples and pear notes along with a dry assertive and pungent lager yeast note that is very bitter and deep astringency from metal notes near the end. Aftertaste shows the deeper malty, nutty and pungent yeast note with a grainy and yeastie/bready bite that shows a large astringency with some metal and light fruity note without much else. Overall, a very deep, super strong, nutty, herbal and especially yeastie beer with only a touch of caramlised sugars and fruit notes to balance things out, but the astringent and pungent side is way stronger than anything else here. I sampled this twelve ounce bottle, purchased from Total Wine in Total Wine in Alexandria (Little River Turnpike), Virginia on 12-September-2020 for US$2,49 sampled at my house here in Washington on 11-October-2020.
