Brewed on 2/13/23. Out of a 12 ounce can, on to the beer:
What initially forms as a bone white two finger's thick head dissolves into a short soapy lacing on top a golden rod colored beer. A few squirts of visible bubbles rise from bottom to top. Soft aroma, attractive in the warmer month as I am in drinking this beer. It smells like a kölsch; grass-like with vague fruitiness. Nothing great nor underwhelming.
The taste brings more to the plate than I was expecting. Light-medium bodied, heavier per style, and producing soft waves of flavor. It's a kölsch, but with a few tiny flaws which keep Full Circle from going to the next level. It's not as crisp and feels more slick to my liking, and the bitterness seems to take on an accent of aluminum. Still, they're tiny flaws in the whole scheme, and the overall picture is a beer which I would be satisfied to put down several of.

They must be making this again as a shipment arrived where I work. Overall I found this decently tasting and refreshing. A decent example of the style.
This is definitely slightly better out of the keg

Pours a pale golden color with a minimal head that disappears quickly. No discernable aroma. Tastes of hops and malts. Sweet at the beginning, finishes with a hoppy bitterness.
