Tap at Explorium. Very unique. Apple, sake, rice, mellow hops. Sour? Unique. OK.

Can at Explorium. Big, steady, rusty beige head on top of a black body. Big barrel tone, big thick beer to balance it out. Some underlying hoppy bitterness fleshes it out too. Good.

16oz can. Pretty standard OK hazy. Hop tone is pretty standard, forgettable. Juicy, sweet. OK. Hops don't really boom

2024 gluten removed version. Solid Marzen, pretty great for a gluten free beer. Classical US medium dark. Good

16oz can. Nice depth for the style, a lot of flavor at least. Not exactly one of those smoothie beers, more of a sugared up Berliner. Cheesecake aspect is mild. Overall OK for what it is.

16oz can. Pretty enjoyable Cream Ale in most respects. Easy, approachable, medium bodied. The sweet yeasty tone of a more classical Cream Ale has sort of been replaced by lactose. Pleasant mild hop balance. Certainly is crushable.

Sample at McFleshman's Lagerfest, 10/7/23. Clear gold, thin tan head, average retention. Aroma of bready malt, citrus. Taste matches. Crisp. The part of the event where rating quality starts declining.
