Appearance: golden copper color with a sly transparency about it. Two finger white foamy head slid off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: earthy and piney hops with a middle tone of sweet coffee then some light bready malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to earthy sweet character; finishes about the same with a super light piney bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with not much distracting; good carb level
Overall: not a bad attempt at a coffee IPA and I think I could return to this.

Appearance: glossy and semi-clear amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: good piney to mixed citrusy and floral hop tones with a mellow clean yet somewhat old school malt vibe
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes semi-dry with an underlying piney bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with barely anything distracting; good carb level
Overall: easy going kinda old school IPA I didn't mind and possibly would return to.

Can I bought from Von Trapp cheese store. Dark brown black and huge fluffy head. Nose is earthy and choclate. Tastes of soft chocolate, soy sauce, licorice, hoppy herbal notes, piney finish. Interesting palate. Loved it

Appearance: amber color with a sly transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: honey, some floral hops and a light dose of some biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty and honey quality; finishes mostly with the honey sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; great smoothness; good carb telling me this is a beer
Overall: I say good honey beer I'd be willing to have again.

Appearance: a beautiful dark amber color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light sticky messy lace
Aroma: great blend of the ginger spicy to sweet tones to a light caramel malt and a touch of rye malt
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-spicy quality with an underscore of bitterness and a little bit of floral sweetness; brisk finish of some dry tones of the rye and a pinch of the ginger
Texture: somewhere between light and medium bodied, semi-sessionable; light smoothness as the rye and ginger seem to get slightly aggressive here, though not overbearing - it is noticeable
Overall: not a bad attempt of taking an amber ale and modernizing it to be something different.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark amber color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated subtly to leave some light lace
Aroma: toffee malts up front, light earthiness, smooth herbal tea and light nutty tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a bitter to semi-bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat tea-ish with some earthy tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I say a pretty good ESB, so pass the fish n' chips for my next pour of this.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark amber color with a two finger off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean bready scents, smooth caramel maltiness, light grassy/earthy hops
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a good malty sweet quality; clean finish of the malts and super faint earthy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: wow, they really nailed this Marzen down well! Great job, Kraemer & Kin!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: brassy yellow to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lilac flowery whiffs up front, some tart character; some grassiness in there; and a little bit of lemon
Flavor: where did the lilac go? Now, there's lemon, some tart character, and the sour level becomes stronger; finishes lemony tart and sour
Texture: medium bodied - hmmm...maybe a touch under, leaning towards being a sipper; sour isn't too intrusive to the tongue so there's a light smoothness to this
Overall: somewhat an odd one, I like the concept so maybe the recipe needs a bit tweaked to get more of the lilac to comfort the flavor a bit more
