16 oz can. Aroma of melon and light floral hops. Flavor shows weak citrus, light melon and ends on a soft bitter floral hop. The floral character stacks up huge as I drink it. Average.

Grabbed to fill out mix six pack as I suspected a pils would hit the spot and I was correct. Gold pour slightly cloudy and flattish on body, puffy white head. Nose is grainy and malty. Tastes of bread, pale malts, grass, peppery, hint of fruit. Touch of sweetness but crisp and pleasant.

Can pour from Candia First Stoppe Country Store. It's a hazy dark yellow-light brown with trace sparkle, thin cap of beige head with poor retention and light lacing. Aroma is strong malt with a hint of fruit and cinnamon. Taste follows aroma. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, lively carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, some interesting wrinkles. Too carbonated.

16 oz. can. Aroma is mild milk, chocolate, cacao, and vanilla. Flavor is exactly what you would expect in the style of milk stout. Does slightly resemble a Whoopie pie. Probably my 7th different Whoopie pie stout from the New England states.

Can (7/8/22) pour from Beer and Wine Nation. It's an opaque light brown-dark yellow with mild sparkle, finger-width off-white head with good retention and trace lacing. Aroma is strong orange and grapefruit with mild cream. Taste follows orange and grapefruit of aroma with mellow bread backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering dry mild bitterness. Overall, strong aroma and taste reflecting the hops in an expected fashion. A little thin for the style.

Pours clear copper into a stein. White soapy head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Bread and caramel aromas. Medium bodied with caramel and brown bread upfront turning to rustic, fruity sourdough and citrus in the medium length finish.

Can pour from Candia Road Convenience. It's a dark, dark, slightly murky brown--virtually opaque--with nice sparkle, finger-width beige foam head with fair retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong raspberry over milder chocolate and sweet crust. Taste is rich raspberry, chocolate and crust. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with thick texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, nice presentation of the dessert. Is obviously sweet, but not cloyingly so.

16 oz. can from Bier Cellar, Portland, Maine. Pours a murky orange-brown color with a khaki head. Aroma of sugary molasses. The flavor is much nuttier than the aroma, with some chocolate notes too. Medium body. No coffee flavor (thankfully). I wish the can hadn’t gone flat because I think it would be much better. Damaged goods in transit.

Can shared by Tom, thanks! Pours a hazy peachy pink with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Aroma has tart and juicy berries with a white head that dissipates quickly to the edges. Flavor has sweet and tart berries with a bit of creamy sweet grains supporting.
