16 ounce can. Sweet toasted malt aroma. Flavor follows nose. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Crisp malty middle. Sticky bitter hop finish. True to the Marzen style, but a bit on the light side.

Can from The Sampler: pours slightly hazy orange with a white orange. Aroma is pretty citrusy. Taste is sort of citrusy and herbal. Disjointed hop profile. Can is a little more than a month old so maybe it lost something.

Decently hazy honey golden coloured body with a rich, fairly soapy tan and off-white head that stays afloat for a very ong time and is at least four centimetres tall. Aroma of grassy and funky malt notes with biscuits, grain and a deep yeast bite that shows well, with an astringent and strong alcohol scent at the very end, that also shows some fruit sweetness. Medium-bodied; Deep robust and pungent yeast and biscuity malt notes that hit with a lot of astringency and almost medicinal flavours with some subdued hop bitterness and a bit of fruit and peppery/herbal finish and no sweetness or balance at all here. Aftertaste shows the deeply bittering and herbal notes, a lot of biscuity and lager yeast (I know this is an ale!), with the peppery and dry flavours that show the hops (I don't like the varietal) along with a dry herbaceous finish. Overall, a decent enough IPA, but I don't care for the biscuity malt notes nor the hop type here (It feels like Azacca), but for others, it should be an okay beer. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Liqour Outlet in Boonton, New Jersey on 23-June-2019 for US$4,29 sampled at home in Washington on 03-September-2019 when my kids and wife went back to school for the year!
