This amber lager, a smooth, medium-bodied brew, boasts subtle notes of caramel and toffee. Its clean, crisp finish is the result of careful conditioning. A nod to an original 2015 brew (IYKYK), this beer is a tribute to all those who have helped Crooked Can Brewing Company reach such heights. From our first brew over a decade ago to our latest innovations, none of this would be possible without your unwavering support.

A good beer rich in flavor, but not overly heavy. Great as a sessionable lager if you want a flavor forward lager that you can drink a lot of.

AROMA: Slightly sweet with mild scents of malt, caramel and bread, followed by a hint of citrus.
APPEARANCE: Pours a clear, medium amber, with a 2-finger, dirty-white head that dissipates slowly, with excellent lacing.
TASTE: Initially, it is mildly sweet but then quickly transitions to mildly bitter. Flavors are hard to identify but I definitely get notes of burnt caramel and during the finish there is just a hint of of dark-roasted coffee bean. Based off the nose, the bitterness level is a little higher than I would have expected. It's not off-putting, just unexpected. The finish is moderately dry.
MOUTHFEEL: Medium-bodied with a slightly "rough" texture, and average carbonation.
OVERALL: I've enjoyed most of the other beers that I've tried from this brewer, but this one is my least favorite. I can't fault it on being another "me too" beer, as it is fairly unique in its flavor. So I give them props for doing something different.
For me, I think the biggest issue is the bitterness level. While it's not overly bitter, it does seem too bitter for the slightly sweet aroma. So every time I go to take a sip, my nose says to expect something sweetish, but then my mouth is hit with something bitter, which makes my brain say "no bueno".
