Can from the Packie
Pours an solid dark brown with garnet at the sides and a small thin off white head that dissipates quickly. Rich bready toasty with hints of earth and chocolate. Little bit of heat and spice in the finish that builds a little with each sip but doesn't overpower. Nicely done.

Can pour from the brewery. Cloudy light brown with bluish tint, big head with good retention and rings of lacing. Aroma is sweet (berries?) but is offset by unfinished/poorly attenuated malts. Taste has same issue as the aroma but the malt issue is stronger. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. A rare drain pour for me.

Undated can from tfontana, thanks, Tom! Drunk 9/3/24. Uh oh, it comes out of the can a dull, greyish blueberry juice color...That said, there is a moderate amount of head. So maybe the can oxidation I associate with this happening isn't fully realized, since it still has enough carbonation to produce a head. Smells vaguely fruity, lightly yeasty and with lots of cracker malt. No real off flavors and no oxidation, but nothing particularly bright or compelling, either. Odd, floral, soapy bitterness, with an odd fusel alcohol character that is pervasive and sharp. Soft, slick, yeasty texture, not too sweet or underattenuated, at least. But yeah, something went quite wrong here.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Deep hazy straw color. Aroma has apricot and orange marmalade. Flavor has strong astringency without any real hop character. If I’m really reaching, I would maybe say herbal hops. Overall, sweet and astringent. Not a good combination.

16oz wide mouth can. Retaining/foamy offwhite-hazy yellow/gold with floaties. A-soft orange, lt/med malt-bready/cereal. T-follows. The mouthfeel is ok, not quite what fits my preference. A bit undercarbed and a slight hint of astringency. A capable beer.

Can from the Beverage King West Lebanon. Somewhat clear dirty golden color with a huge frothy off white head that takes forever to recede. Bready caramel maltiness with hints of fruit. Earthy resinous grassy and a bit of aspirin like astringency. The malt bill makes it feel British, the harsh hop makes me think homebrew. Needs a bit of work.

Can pour in trade with Johnnniee--thanks, John. Appearance is cloudy yellow-light brown with no sparkle, thin off-white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is tropical fruit, orange citrus, hint of herb and malt base. Taste is equal parts tropical fruit, citrus and herb that don't necessarily play nice with each other. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste. Overall, checks the right boxes but it doesn't work smoothly.

Can shared by tfontana, thanks Tom! Aroma is caramel, slight herbs, indescribable fruit. Bitterness level is on the mild side. Somewhat balanced. A really, really nice homebrewers recipe from 2011.

Can at the Salt Hill pub Lebanon Dark brown/black in color with a huge bubbly tan head that slowly recedes. Rich roasty chocolate with bits of earthy hops and some spicy peppers to counter. Nicely balanced roast and heat.
