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.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of coffee, roast, dark bread, vanilla. Pours hazy root beer brown with a one finger beige head that settles into a ring after a minute. Taste has a mild sweetness backed by faint bitterness, with roasty coffee flavors. Very tasty.

Can. Pours a hazy dull yellow with a slight orange hue and a white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma has dank pineapple and a bit of light fruits with some guava underlying. Flavor has the same dank pineapple with a bit of earthy tropical fruit and a touch of sweet citrus.

16 oz. can. Aroma has vanilla, chocolate and plenty of maple. Vanilla and long lasting maple throughout the flavor. Body is medulla plus with nice texture. Quite honestly this really rides the line of being ridiculously sweet. 4 oz. is about all I wanted.

16 oz can from John, thanks pal, 4/18/22. Canned 1/12/22. Clear pinkish-orange color with a thin white head and light, drippy lace. Sweet and fruity aroma and flavor. Lots of raspberry, as you'd probably expect from the name. Mild tartness to keep the sweet / jammyness in check. Drinks cleaner than many lactose beers, which is nice. It's pretty good thanks to being more drinkable than I expected from a lactose sour jam beer.
