Can, shared with my mate Joe at his place on 21st March 2026. No head on the golden body. Gherkin aroma and taste, all a bit weird, but fun I suppose. Helps my Illinois beer total to rise a beer too!

Can.

A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, white head.

A- Pickle brine, tart.

F- Pickle juice, tart, slightly salty.

T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, tangy finish.

O- Straight up bread and butter pickle brine. I loved it but I love pickle juice. For a buck a can, it was awesome. Not much depth just pickle juice and tartness.

12oz can. Put you to sleep boring lager. Some corn, faint malt, fainter hops. Not a lot going on. Better than BMC any day of the week, but not sure why anyone would pay for this.

Draft Teku glass at Pilot Project Brewing in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. The pour is a slight haze of golden orange with a minimal white head. The aroma is orange and lemon citrus and a little body odor. There is also some peanut shell as the beer warms. The taste is fruity oranges, some orange rind, floral and a bit of sweet cream. The palate is light to medium bodied with the fruit lingering to the finish. Interesting and fun.
