Have always loved porters and stouts. In recent years I have grown to really enjoy European and American lagers.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom! Aroma is grapefruit, orange, and mild herbs. Flavor shows a good amount of citrus with maybe hints of mango. Under the fruit is a very soft pine or herb undertone. Juicy texture with a soft pine finish. Prototypical for the style.

Aroma of shows bolder pine, chocolate, roasted malts. The pine is strong with some cooking herbs. Roasted malt is just enough So I do not detect any ash or char. Also shows mellow citrus. Decent bitterness for the style. Good mouthfeel. Exceptional!

16 oz can consumed on my commuter van home from work. Aroma is soft vanilla on a ton of cold brew coffee.
Flavor is the exact carbon copy of the aroma with the body a tad on the lean side. That said a ton of cold brew coffee found here. Easy drinking. Nice!

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom. Aroma of melon, orange and cereal grain. Flavor shows the weakest amount of mango and melon. With kumquat and a lime hint. Pretty good mixture of flavor with bitterness in the finish to balance the fruit. Bitterness increases as it warms. It’s good.

12 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Thank you Tom. Feb 2026 can date. Aroma of grapefruit and lemon peel. Flavor follows with the addition of some orange and floral notes. Soft bitterness and thinner juice character. Nothing offputting or wrong here. I just think it probably has seen some better days.

16 oz can in a trade with tfontana. Honey and bread aroma. Flavor is lightly sweet with biscuit upfront turning to a mild honey hint toward the finish. Light body and a weak hop. Yet, this is lightly sweet with a mild mineral character. Easy to drink.
