Can as pictured. Pour is clear with a pale that is light brown tinted. Smell is like mild sea water, no lie. Decent carbonation. Taste is well respected and civilized lager, very little bitter attributes. Not enough salt to make it a gose, but it is there. Pretty good overall drink, could easily drink another. Decent beer tasting experience.

Deep dark brown coloured body with a thinnish and relatively fast-dying tan head. Aroma of coffee, roasted malt, light molasses and burnt sugars with a good hit of grainy malts along with a nutty finish - nice in the nose and pretty complex with a good dose of sugars here. Medium-bodied; Assertive grainy and roasty malts show at first with a great hit of both caramelised sugars and squash/sweet potato notes with a lot of richness, but also some flavours from them along with some light spice notes towards the end that brings out complexity from the malt and sugars. Aftertaste is pretty grainy with a good roasty and sweet finish along with a hint of alcohol and light bitterness on the end, along with the coffee that comes out early in the nose, but also late in the taste, with some vanilla to finish it off. Overall, a very nice and robust, well-rounded and pretty complex beer for the alcohol content and style here with a good robust profile showing things from sweet potato and squash to vanilla. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Harris Teeter in Charleston, South Carolina on 28-December-2021 for US$1,87 sampled almost a year later at my house here in Washington as the days get a bit chillier on 28-November-2022.

12oz can pours out golden topped with a white head. Nose is nice sweet pineapple juice notes and a over ripe citrus touch. Taste is more of the nice sweet pineapple some citrus bite to keep it from going to sweet.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a slightly hazy pale gold color with a small white head and great retention. Good lacing. Classic pilsner malt aroma. The taste follows the nose. Standard pilsner malt flavor with a sharp, semi-bitter finish. Clean, with a crisp mouthfeel. Medium body. Good carbonation. Good example of the style.

12 oz. can from Total Wine. Pours a semi-clear gold color with a white head and great retention. Spotty lacing. As expected, it smells like lime and malt. Tastes like it smells: Lime and pale malt, with some salt in the finish. Lightly sweet, but not cloying. A bit grainy. Very crisp mouthfeel. Medium-light body. Not bitter. Better than I expected. Above average for the style. Great post-exercise beer.

Draft at Catawba Morganton. Pours a deep brown to black with a finger of tan head that lingers. Coffee and vanilla aromas on the nose. Smooth and silky texture on the palate with lingering coffee and creamer notes. Finishes smooth and balanced.

Draft at Catawba Morganton. Pours a clearish strawberry pink color with a finger of off-white foam that dissipates quickly. Raspberry notes with some mineral and grain on the nose. Balanced on the palate with raspberry skin and fruit. Leans dry on the finish. Enjoyable.
