Pint can pours with a gold copper body that has a fair amount of haziness and supports a thin semi loose white head of foam. The aroma offers up citrus peel, tangelo, clementine and a hit of pineapple. The taste delivers tangy to bitter juicy citrus like tangelo, clementine and bitter orange peel. To midway it picks up a cube or two of sweet pineapple while also heading into a sea of bitter resiny pine hop goodness. This works pretty well with a nice juicy to tangy to bitter hoppiness. Solid sipper with hardly any sense of the big ABV.

This is pretty much a reasonably sweet Imperial dark beer that's like every other decent beer of this style. Becoming really boring. Tasty but nothing distinguished here at all.

Pour s a clear gold with a huge white head. Aroma is a grainy generic lager malt but it also has some bready and sulfur notes. Flavor is a real nice fresh baked bread more sulfury notes you get in Euro beers and a little bitterness to boot. This was a nice well made lager. Only knock would be that I wish this was more around 5% then 6.5%

Can. Just purchased, but canned 11/20. Nice. Pours hazy yellow, small off white head, good lacing. Aroma is orange, soap, tea leaves. Flavor is medium sweet, light bitter, super sharp, lingering off aftertaste. Merlin body.
