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

16 oz can. Aroma is earthy with cocoa and roasted hints. Flavor is similar with bold base malt, and soft sweetness in the finish. Coffee tones. Light mineral character. The mouthfeel has a dryness and ends lightly earthy. Amazing malt depth. Layered flavor.

16 oz can. Aroma brings out huge cracker / bready malt. Flavor is toasted bread crusts and light mineral notes. Exceptionally clean, and crisp finish. Dortmunder is not a style you find in the US very often. This is crafted really well.

16 oz can. No date code. Aroma is mango, orange, and some mild malt. Flavor follows with the addition of some herbal bitterness. Dry texture and bitterness lingers for a bit. For New England IPA it should be a lot juicer.
Overall, it is ok.

16 oz can. No date code. Aroma is soft citrus, mild caramel, mild pale grain. Flavor follows with mild herb bitterness. Average body and texture. It is ok. Not much to get excited about. Good news is: no flaws or problems. Very old school APA.
