Draft at Beltway. Poured a pitch black color with a medium brown head. Huge dark chocolate. Aroma had light coconut? Flavor was huge roast. Very large bakers chocolate. Massive roast. Really nice stuff. Shocked at how dry this one is for being a pastry.

Draft at Beltway. Poured a very cloudy light orange color with a small, wispy white head. Creamy, super smooth vanilla and tropical fruits. Big citrus, smooth malt, though not overly overpowering. Really tasty on draft.

Draft at Beltway. Poured a cloudy yellow-orange color with a small, wispy white head. Smooth vanilla and mango milkshake. Candy, dried mango. Light sweetness. A little bitter on the finish, just a touch of alcohol on the finish.

Poured a clear, but dark slightly ruby red color with a small white head. Aroma was light Woody vanilla, mild tartness. Definitely can taste the rye barrel. Would love a little bit more funkiness in this one or a bit more body to it as it felt a touch thin. Alcohol content was on point though.

Relatively crisp copper and light orange glowing coloured body with a nice, two to three centimetre tall off-white head that starts nice and fades pretty quickly without leaving much on top, but a bunch on the sides. Relatively pungent aroma of bright oranges, tangerines, flowers, grass, hay and a lot of dry herbal notes with some fresh hops noticeable, but a bunch of the fruity, even slightly tart notes here - nice! Light to Medium-bodied; Strong fresh orange flavours dominate here with a tiny hop bitterness, but much more acidic and tart notes from the orange peel/curacao and a big kick of herbal notes on the end that are supported nicely by the malts. Aftertaste is slightly dry but showing a very nice pungent and even tart profile with a ton of fresh, pure orange notes, and not much else, but what is here is great! Overall, a nice beer, and while I'm not sure what style this really fits into, it's nice and reminds me of either a fruit beer or a fruited saison - nice and crisp with good fresh fruit notes throughout. I sampled this twelve ounce can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Falls Church (Skyline), Virginia on 08-September-2022 for US$1,84 sampled in my hotel room here in [inner harbor] Baltimore, Maryland on 25-October-2022.

Clear, very light amber coloured body that is definitely closer to golden with a thinnish, single to at most two centimetre tall just off-white head. Aroma of bread, crisp lager yeast, a dash of biscuity malts and a hint of subdued caster sugars, but not much more than that - very mild in the nose. Light-bodied; Very bready flavours at first dominate with a lot of graininess, some yeast pungency towards the end with a dry, biscuity and malt finish without any real sugars and no complexity at all to speak of. Aftertaste shows only the malts, yeast and bread notes with a big bitterness from the yeast and a biscuity flavour that doesn't lead onto any sugars or additional flavours. Overall, a pretty standard light marzen without any real complexity or pungency and while this might be good for those who don't really want any flavours or complexity, this is substandard for style and for the brewery, and pretty dissapointing! Definitely not worth trying unless you really like the style and have had everything else local! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Trader Joe's in Glen Allen/Short Pump (Richmond), Virginia on 26-September-2022 for US$2,50 sampled in my hotel room here in Novi, Michigan with two of my kids on 21-October-2022.
