Canned 2/25/26, drunk 3/16/26.
Clear gold, bubbly. Moderate white head, lower retention.
Grainy nose with very low hopping. Corny, not quite gluey, with some sharp notes suggesting not enough conditioning.
So it goes in the mouth. A disappointing macro clone; nothing German or Czech here. And not even a particularly well-done macro clone. Sweet and yet sharp at times with virtually no hop. Gets borderline too sweet and syrupy as it warms.
Are times so tough that Lawson's has to put out this crap? I don't know, maybe.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear golden color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated adequately to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light grassy to piney to earthy hop spice up front then some lime and salt notes; malts seems a lot fainter than the OG but I'm okay with that
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas in a slightly snappy sort of spicy and citrusy sort way, the malts seem once again extremely lower; finishes crisp, slightly salty with a touch of lime
Texture: light to medium bodied but seems a bit lighter than the OG, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; nothing abrasive or assertive
Overall: what was once a Czech pilsener to me is now a beach sipper or something that sounds like someone would want for Cinco De Mayo. This isn't bad, but part of me thinks I liked the OG more.

Bottle to snifter.
Appearance: burnt orangey color with a finger's worth of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, coconut, agave, honey, mixed citrusy notes, sweet wood, grapefruit and a touch of lemon
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet woody/honey tone to a tropical fruity sweet tone; finishes through all those aromas I mentioned
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but light woody tones pinching the tongue ever so lightly
Overall: a very nicely done Tequila barrel aged TIPA worthy of coming back to

Canned on: 10/24/2025. Bijna zwart en een bruine schuimkraag met een weinig retentie. Geur is geroosterd, sticky toffee, rood fruit. Retronasaal is het veel meer geroosterd, koffiedik, iets rood fruit, een vleugje karton. Smaak is vrij geroosterd/gebrand bitter en licht tot medium zoet. Het is wel iets dunnetjes. Eindigt met dikke roast, koffiedik en flinke bitterheid.

Pours light amber. Aroma of general hops. Taste has general ipa notes, some well-defined juniper and fresh pine notes. Palate is much of the same, citrus, juniper, pine resin. Good.

Poured from a can into a 20oz nonic pint
Opaque, dark brown bordering black, two fingers of dense tan head sits that lasts and lasts leaving some nice lacing when it finally starts to disapate.
Aroma of caramel, roast and hints of chocolate.
Taste follows the aroma with the roast playing heavily into the fairly bitter finish
Wicked smooth medium body, finishes dry and drinks really easy.
Overall a tasty Irish dry stout. Light and easy drinking enough for a session with plenty of substance to keep you coming back for more. The dryness makes you want to keep taking that next drink and I'm all for it
gave a cheers!
