Clear, deep brown color. Big, off-white head. Toffee, caramel malt, minerals, and cocoa in the aroma. Malty taste with light bitterness and some mineral astringency at the end.

This one pours a murky and muddy looking brown color, with a small head, and lots of lacing. I'm gonna be honest, it's not really a great look for the beer. I still have hope it will taste good because Threes is usually a winning brewery.
This smells like caramel malt, a light rye breadiness, graham spice, and tea.
So luckily the pond water look didn't translate to a pond water taste - this has a clean and firm and lightly sweet malt backbone - some definite caramel, a bit of milk chocolate, but there's also a nice spice to hold the sweetness together. There's a touch of bitter tea-like hops, too.
This is medium bodied, and feels and drinks bigger than the low ABV here.
As long as you don't look at this beer, you will enjoy it a lot..

Poured from a can (no date, just says "Canned On" and then nothing) first into my mouth in the shower then into a pint glass
L: never pour this beer from the can. Truly one of the least appetizing brews I've ever seen - dirty brown water, like a sidewalk puddle or something. Minimal white head, very slight lacing
S: very light malt-forward aroma. Graham cracker, some toffee - mild overall
T: think the taste here is quite good. Solid dark malt flavors, again graham cracker with toffee. Flavor impressive considering the low abv
F: somewhat watery, considering the abv not surprising. Medium carbonation, good mouthfeel
O: wish I had kept this in the can. A crushable, flavorful dark mild but again the look of this thing is just hard to get past. Don't believe I've had any other dark milds to compare color, hopefully they don't look like this

A: The beer is hazy to cloudy light brown in color. It poured with a short light beige head that quickly faded away, leaving lots of lacing on the surface and a narrow collar around the edge of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of nutty malts are present in the nose along with hints of fruity yeast.
T: The taste follows the smell, but the flavors are a bit more balanced between the nutty malts and fruity yeast.
M: It feels a bit more than light-bodied and slightly chewy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This beer is very easy to drink and is quite flavorful considering its low alcohol content.
Serving type: can
