16oz can. No dating information found, but Portage just started its canning program.
Clear, pale amber colored body. Three finger off white head upon pouring, which recedes to a thin cap. Leaves strings and trails of lacing.
Aroma has roasted malts and a nutty addition. Hops are floral in expression but in the background.
Taste follows the nose with roasted malts, caramel and a nutty flavor. Again the hops are in the background and have a floral flavor. Malts exist in the aftertaste.
Mouthfeel seems full and smooth. Very good carbonation.
Full flavored lager, with balance and well done malts.

This beer pours a pale amber with a large head. The aroma is rich, with toasted malts, roasted nuts, and a slight earthy floral note. The flavor is rich and gentle, with loads of complex toasted malts, brown bread, nutty flavors, and a rich, slightly floral flavor. The mouthfeel is rich and gentle. Overall this is a magnificent beer - really up a step from the standard examples of this style, it is so rich and creamy, yet never over sweet.
