Can from Livonia Liquor. Drank straight from the can. Light bready malt aromas with mineral and light peppery hops in the background. Some herbal notes on the palate with notes of biscuit, mineral and herbal hops flavors. Drying finish, but well-rounded. Balanced and nice drinking lager.

Hazy (not cloudy) medium orange-brown body, thick dense cream-tan head. Aroma soft and sweet with peach and citrus. Body smooth, tart, and cerealy-nutty with peach, orange, and a touch of pine. Rustic and somewhat subtle.

Dirty pale straw orange body, dense medium off-white head. Aroma big banana, Dubble Bubble bubblegum, and circus peanuts. Chewy and tangy body with a round banana and clove base and a sharp, acidic, bitter bite. Creamy and estery. Nothing cloying here- quaffable as a session beer. Very nice.

Hazy medium orange body, medium cream head. Aroma mostly citrus and biscuit. Body surprisingly grassy-wheaty, creamy and soft, with orange peel tang. Rustic, atypical, fantastic.

Caramel red-orange body, tight medium cream head. Aroma brown sugar, toasted malts, and raisin. Body spicy and estery with a robust toasty and moderately sweet (but not syrupy) backdrop. Tobacco, toffee, black cherry, raisin, prune, bubblegum, cheerios, and cocoa puffs. Crisp earthy bite. Yum!

Clear amber body, thick cream head. Aroma with notes of toast, caramel, nuts, sweet breads, and grass. Beautifully balanced body with toasted sugars, honey, grain, and buts balanced by earthy, floral hops. Drier and not so caramel-forward as many versions I’ve tried. Overall, lovely.

Clear straw-golden body with effervescent carbonation, medium cream head. Aroma cerealy, nutty, and grassy. Body crisp with a zesty grassy and grainy base, bready but with a firm bite. Clean, dry.

Clear pale straw body, big but dissipating puffy off-white head. Smells like a pilsner, with grassy, floral, and biscuit notes. Body nutty with grain, grass, and a floral bouquet, including some light skunky notes.

Slightly hazy orange-brown body, thin off-white to cream head. Aroma light pine, citrus (including lemon), and wood. Dank body, leafy, with tobacco, cedar, pepper, and cereals. A lot going on for a relatively light beer.
