16oz can purchased from the fridge as a 4-pack for $14.49. This is the 2022 version, which seems to be the same version as the 2021 one. It's a Festbier Lager. PKG 09/01/22, so this is 27 days old [Review was originally conducted on 9/27/2022 but was posted under Autumn Landscape (2021)].
Look: It's somewhere between a rich gold and a light copper color (maybe closer to light copper). There is a rocky off-white head with decent lacing.
Smell: This smells very Marzen-esque to me. Up front, I get bready, caramel malts tempered by slightly earthy, floral, grassy hops. Also a subtle honey sweetness. Spice notes also (pepper, clove, sweet and spicy ginger). It smells very nice.
Taste: Yum. It's a lot lighter in body than I expected, which makes sense since this is a Festbier and not a Marzen. The flavors mirror the nose very nicely. Up front, it's malty and toasty with nice notes of dark bread and grain. The beer is super drinkable and very enjoyable. On the back end, there's like this really nice pumpernickel dark bread note that is lingering in the background along with the hoppy, bitter finish. It tastes like an amped-up Noble hop character on the finish with an intense, very nice bitter orange rind flavor.
Feel: It's light to medium bodied. It's crisp and refreshing with an interesting complexity as it toes the line between a malt-forward beer and a crispy, bitter lager. Very drinkable.
Overall: This is my first of the Industrial Arts Landscape Series. I have a Spring Landscape Maibock (Helles Bock) in my fridge that I look forward to tasting soon. This is much hoppier and also darker than the Paulaner Festbier that I had recently. I prefer this one because it is a bit more complex. However, if you prefer traditional styles, then you may prefer a German Festbier. To me, this beer is a hybrid between an American-style Marzen and a European Festbier. If I tasted this beer blind, I am not sure if I would say that it is a Festbier or a Marzen style. Tough call. I hope that I would say Festbier because the lighter body is the most distinguishing trait. Either way, it's a very nice beer. I will definitely enjoy the rest of the 4-pack!
From the website:
A festbier-style lager, this has aromas of roasted pretzel and light toffee, with a firm and lingering bitterness on the finish. Made with Pilsner, Vienna, and Munich malts from Hudson Valley Malt, and hops from Pedersen Farms and Chimney Bluffs. 5.9% ABV

Canned on 9/1/22; consumed on 10/25/22
Pours a crystal-clear, deep honey-gold body capped with numerous fingers of creamy, white foam; good head retention leaves a few chunky islands of cap, a thin, sudsy collar, and myriad webby chunks of soapy lacing draping down the walls of the glass.
Aromas waft with floral lager yeast intertwined with fresh white toast and a wildflower honey drizzle; a touch of minerality eases into bakers flour and rising bread dough lingering passively through the bouquet.
Taste opens with fresh, mineralic yeastiness doused in honey and edged with burnt bread crusts, leaving a grassy lingering in the backdrop as vague toast and honeysuckle proceed through the mid-palate and a mild grapefruit spritz eases over the finish.
Mouthfeel shows a light body and an airy, moderate carbonation; exceptionally clean textures trend silky while a mild grit subsides into a roasty prickle subtle through the mid-palate; a pseudo-creaminess on the back end phases into a drying finish.
A grassy hop inflection phases through the profile, though does little to deter the unbridled drinkability of this delicately sweet, roundly bready festbier; despite mild imperfections, a well-constructed brew.
