Pours unclear red-brown. No real head. Smell is full, wood, very funky, intense cherries. Taste is full, very tart, tad roasty even ( somehow...). Big on cherries, intense, bit dry. Nice !

12 ounce can from Total Wine Brookfield 9/20/19. Hazy orange, large foamy white head, good retention. Aroma of floral, lime, tropical hops, pale malt. Taste is tropical fruit, citrus, pale malt. Medium bodied, well balanced, low bitterness. This seems to be trying to be an NEIPA? Overall good beer.

The Aromas are hops and pale malt. Flavors are similar to nose with Citrus standing out. It doesn't seem much like a Keller Pils more like hoppy pale lager or hoppy pils. I really expected that they do a better job with this. Happy is popular but if you're going to make a traditional beer then make it traditionally.

Nice-looking package, too bad what's inside isn't as good. The Aromas are oxidized hops, cardboard and a little caramel malt. Flavors are like nose, Bittersweet with some rye spice and growing bitterness towards the Finish. Okay body and carbonation. Not much of an IPA.
