Can (3/19/21) pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! It's a hazy golden brown with tons of sparkle, 2-finger frothy white foam head with fair retention and nice lacing. Aroma is strong papaya and overripe pineapple and stone fruit. Taste follows the aroma and includes a grain backbone. Mouthfeel is light side of light-to-medium bodied with thin, silky texture, soft carbonation, alcohol warmth and finish as taste with dry lingering yeast and light bitterness. Overall, strong aroma and flavor that's a little off the beaten path. A tad thin but great texture.

16 ounce can. Date stamp; 03/19/21. “Be Patient”. Aroma is similar to honeysuckle, grapefruit, and white bread. Flavor is rather balanced. Shows the soft honeysuckle upfront with a mild grapefruit bitterness and the finish. Backed by The bready malt. Has an elegance about it. Real enjoyable.

16oz can from Tavour. Cloudy golden pour with creamy white head. Full bread dough aroma, sweet with a hint of hops. Taste balances the biscuit malts and hops perfectly, coupled with a thick, creamy body for a really full mouth feel. This brew pushed all the right buttons for me. The barely noticable 8.4% ABV puts it over the top.

Totally didn't realize this was an IPL until check-in, in a good way, it was a light finish, medium light mouth feel, real nice juicyness upfront with a strata bite. Refreshing and double!

Can from Tavour. Pours translucent brassy gold with a large foamy white head that lasted. Aroma of citrus and passion fruit. Foamy in the mouth. Flavor has definite dank weed aspects, with passion fruit, citrus and green melon. Twigs even. What sort? Hmmm. Malt is light caramel. Hard to find. Excellent that. Even for a lager. Hop bitter is always the thing. Except for IS and Baltic Porter and any number of other beers. However, I digress. This is good tasting stuff. Very.

16 oz. Aroma has notes of pine, bread, wet stone. Pours hazy golden with a one finger cream white head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate to high herbal bitterness with lightly sweet bready malt backing. Very much a nicely bitter hoppy lager. A lot of these IPLs on the market are barely discernible from IPAs; this one wears its lager-ness on its sleeve proudly.
