16.9 oz. can from the Costco 2025 German Biergarten Collection. Pours a dark rusty brown color with a beige head and good retention. Good lacing too. Dark malt aroma. Sweet dark malt and toffee flavor throughout. Very simple profile, and it works. Very smooth, clean, and repeatable. And the 6.7% ABV is invisible. Medium body Lower than expected carbonation. No bitterness.
