From a can, this stuff pours almost lemon yellow with a nice head. Nose is a little spicey, maybe the olfactory of many holiday brews? First taste reveals some spice too, but it's not in your face, maybe it's that citrus peel thing, but it's hard to identify it as such. Has pretty good carbonation and it's not as bitter as most ruder wheat ales. More mild and friendly, like a wheat beer should, not like an IPA. Not bad, pleasantly surprised by its balanced friendly attitude. Maybe one of the better wheat ales I've had lately, but not as good as Terrapin Sun Ray, Tap Room No. 21 Moe's Backroom Wheat, New Belgium Snapshot, Blue Moon Rising Moon Spring, Beaver Chamomile Wheat, Fin City Sneaky Wheat or even Marzoni's Highway 22 Wheat.

From a $2 can this stuff is quite flat, even when sipped directly from the can. Yea, it's a dark lager but a little lighter than most dark lagers. I can pick out just a tad of salt, but the lime seems to be somewhat absent. With its metallic nose, this stuff is not as good as most dark lagers I've tasted, just a little disappointed. Because of the fact it's a lager and it's really flat, it's actually becoming annoying on the finish. It even seems to be varying from a true lager backbone. There you have it; an irritating cheap pale dark lager that claims it's a craft, blah. Go buy some cheap dark pale lager from a macro, it's much more refined.

Very cute can with a capitol building surrounded by tons of colorful balloons. Pretty decent nose of clean hop perfume with a tad of BO. Pour is slightly hazy, pale. Nice foamy rocky head. Taste is big bad dirty IPA. Bitter as all hell. Not sure if the taste lives up to the brightness of the smell, but it is not too dull. Yes, heavy but not overwhelmingly dull. A little mouth coating. Just another one of ten trillion IPA out there. Terribly on style for a domestic version. Not impressed, just another IPA. How can sooooo many of the same tasting beers come with a zillion different names? Just seems like a beer ticking conspiracy to me. WTF? There, you have it. Go figger.

Pour is big and black with very big choco moose head. Nose is nice mellow choco malt, quite attractive. Taste is bitter dark chocolate. Decent carbonation level. Hints of old damp half burned charred campfire wood. Rather smooth in the middle, it starts to lose its co2 effects. Pretty good stuff clear to the end. Yes, a porter that does not want to be a stout.
