Bottle, drunk on an unusually festive Tuesday, due to having had several tasty beers after homemade chili on crispy sourdough. Note: several months over expiry, though kept cold. Barely hazy orange amber with a small head. Nose is slightly cardboardy, biscuit, mild grain and honey. Big caramelized flavor, a bit woody, I might get a hint of tequila but not much rum or bourbon (maybe not first cask refill?). Interesting, I'd be curious to taste a fresher one, though oxidation from its cask time may be a killer.

Amber with a creamy head that lingers. Aroma is something like a mix of caramel and papaya, but has low fruitiness for the style. Taste is bitter the whole way through with lingering resin. Medium-bodied, moderate carbonation. Uninteresting.

Can shared by Kyle, thanks! Pours a clear straw gold with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has a good amount of sweet grains with some straw and a touch of light bread underlying. Flavor has lots of straw and bread with a bit of sweetness.

500 ml can purchased at the Costco in Overland Park, Kansas as part of the 2021 Advent Calendar (this was day 7). The pour is a clear golden yellow with a one inch foamy white head, with a bunch of carbonation bubbles. The aroma is hay, dry floral and honey. The taste is grainy cereal malt, the floral of the nose and dry hay with a touch of mineral to the finish. The palate is light bodied, active carbonation and the dry finish. Solid Helles.

Bottle. Clear gold with a beautiful big white head. Aroma of cannabis and citrus fruits with some pine. Taste of grains, extra-fresh lemons, regular grapefruits, malts and grass. Tangy and fruity. Moderate bitterness. Medium to strong carbonation. Nice mouthfeel. Very balanced, refreshing and easy drinking. Proper. My gosh, growing older I finally seem to get the appeal of mixing old world Lager styles with modern hops. There is hope.
