IPA (4.5% ABV, can)
Amber with a slightly off-white head, it has a floral, herbal aroma — not too in your face, but pleasant enough to be inviting. On the palate, there’s plenty of caramel from the malt, and bready and nutty notes, but the earthy, slightly spicy hops shine through and contribute to good balance. There’s gentle bitterness on the finish of this decent session IPA.

Lager (5% ABV, can)
A easy-drinking lager with a soft mouthfeel. Hazy gold, it has a white head that dies down quite fast. There’s a slight grassiness and a hint of lemon on the nose. On the palate, herbal, spicy, and lemon hop notes combine with quite a sweet malt.
