Aroma is husky/beery malts and big fruit. The flavor is husky German malts/lager yeast, big fruit and a dryish/spicy/herbal/slightly bitter noble hop finish.

From a 12oz can. Best by September 13, 2025
This beer has a murky look to it and has a darker golden color to it. There's a thick and fluffy looking white head to this beer - 3 finger. The head retention is quite good and there's a decent amount of lacing on the glass.
The beer has just a ton of malt on the nose. I get a beautiful cereal grain aroma to this beer. There's a slight roasted aroma to the malts.
Taste - Malts, upon malts in this beer. I am getting a full on cereal hit from this beer. I am getting a honey like sweetness to the flavor. I am getting a bit of a biscuit flavor. There's a bit of hops on the finish to add a nice bitterness to it. I also get hints of a floral like element to this beer.
The body is very full feeling for the style. It is very smooth overall.
Wow, this is quite tasty. This beer has a lot going on with the malts in a good way.

Finally found some of this new beer and was excited to try a collab from 2 of my favorite breweries.
12 ounce can, best by 09-13-25, poured into a short Becher.
L -- Clear, pale gold with a sudsy white head that settles quickly.
S -- Doughy malts, herbal hops.
T -- Doughy to crackery malts up front, herbal to tart hoppiness back. Finish has a touch of the doughiness and aftertaste has a lightly sharp bitterness.
F -- Mouthfeel is soft to crisp with a light-medium body.
O -- Something not quite solid about this beer; no real rich malt breadiness and the bitter aftertaste isn't Nobel Hop in character. The doughiness has a sweetness to it that tries to make up for the lack of a good melanoidin malt flavor, but falls short. Just a little disappointing.
