Can pour from the brewery. Lightly hazy amber-copper with light sparkle, nice head with excellent retention and spotty lacing. Aroma is strong resin, spicy malt and floral. Taste is strong malty, resin similar to a failed, unfinished home brew I tried years ago. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and earthy/vegetal finish. Didn't care for this flavor profile a decade ago and I still don't. Looks great.

Can pour from the brewery. Clear amber with nice sparkle, decent head with good retention and webs of lacing. Aroma is sweet malt, honey and vanilla. Taste follows aroma with late Pilsner/European malt and bitterness. Smooth, frothy, creamy texture, soft carbonation and mostly bitter, malty finish. I have a soft spot for the golden stouts/porters. As you'd expect smells, and flavor begins, quite sweet but don't love malt backbone nor late bitterness. Not a fave.

16 oz can shared by tfontana. Thank you Tom! Flavor is sweet and malty, toffee up front, leading into weak peat and a light note of scotch. Notes of raisins / caramel. Good texture and mouth. Very respectable.

Brewery draught, 10/28/23. Clear, muted mahogany. Beige head quickly to ring. Spicy cinnamon and ginger, maybe? Something more savory, anyways. Unfortunately, this is spiced water AND it's close to flat. There's no malt or body whatsoever.

Brewery draught, 10/28/23. Clear, bright golden-maize. Small, white head sits at cover. Dusty, sweaty, grainy. I guess a hint of juice? Soft with good maltiness, good attenuation. Floral and sweaty hops. Bit grainy, lots of white bread. Bit of apricot lingering. Competent.

Brewery draught, 10/28/23. Clear, rosy blonde-amber. Small, off-white head to ring quickly. Holy crap that's a lot of cherry. Smells like maraschino. Tastes like it too. Yiiiiiikes. Drowns out anything else. Texture has done moderate maltiness to it. Light acidity on the finish. Not too sweet, but that cherry is so artificial.

Brewery draught, 10/28/23. Clear brass-golden. White head at cover. Noticeable lager yeast and actual hopping. Reasonably clean. Mineral, even with cracker and baked white bread. Soft and malty with moderate depth and attenuation. Some wax to it, but otherwise pretty well done with good attenuation and lingering herbal bitterness.
