Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow to orange in color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some lace
Aroma: citrusy to mango-like with some light pineapple-y hop tones; light clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior noted aromas; finishes mango-like and citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good carb level, pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I feel like it's tracking fine, maybe just a wee bit of tweaking to get that slightly juicy

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: bright yellow color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean spicy to floral hop notes with a nice bready malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together very nicely in a semi-sweet to spicy sort of way; finishes semi-spicy with good bready malts
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, good smoothness, light dryness
Overall: good Czech pilsener worthy of coming back to.

12 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you! Aroma is rye, rich roasted grain, mild oak. Flavor is deep and rich. Deep roasted grain, peat, caramel and ends nicely bone dry. Lots of layered malt. Nice mouthfeel and body. Real nice stout!

Can from Westmere Beverage Center, Albany. Opaque black, mild viscosity, ring of head, light lacing. Aroma is strong earthy, peaty malt, rye barrel, cacao nibs, saltine, late coffee. Well balanced. Taste is strong earthy, peaty malt and rye barrel like the aroma. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation, earthy finish as taste. Taste isn't as complex as aroma but a good deal of interest. Intriguing.

Draught @ The Hoptimist, Manhattan (Feb 2024). Cloudy dark red-copper with a very small frothy beige head that dissolves to a ring quickly, spicy caramel aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter caramel malt taste with faint spicy flavor, thin body, long caramel finish. Smooth, faintly spicy.

From Beer Drop. The stamp at the bottom of the can scares me. 22034. I hope that doesn't mean 34th day of 2022.
Pours a clear straw gold with a finger of foam. Good lacing.
It has a nice spicy hop aroma with some biscuit malt, hops are Saaz reminding. Does not smell old.
The taste is nice. Noble hops character, biscuit malt, spicy, dry, doesn't taste old but what do I know?
Good body and carbonation.
I like this.
