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.

Sampled from the tap at the MKE location. Pours a clear pale yellow with a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is lemon forward with straw and light sweet grains underlying. Flavor has slightly sweet lemon with sweet grains and a touch of sweet grains backing.

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.

16oz can. Pretty classical APA. Clean, bright, decent balance. Some juicy edged bitterness, almost chewy but not quite malt tone. Sessionable, inoffensive, kind of boring but OK.
