Insanely pure hazy golden coloured body, with a thick, microfoamed and ultra velvety two to three centimetre tall tan head or off-white head that coats the beer nicely. Aroma of deeply robust and pungent grassy and herbal notes with a scent of candy and citrus noticeable, with a lot of alcohol and even some lactose noticeable. Full-bodied; Super bright flavour at first with citrus, alcohol, grainy, malty and especially dry, grassy flavours, all with a lot of malt, which provides a great balance and ending with a lot of sugars, fruit and bitterness - very rich and complex throughout! Aftertaste is deep, rich and pungent with some lactose, cream, caster sugar and pure citrus notes, somehow getting behind all the alcohol, malt and pungent dry notes up front. Overall, a very well-executed, deep and strong beer that shows a great profile and complexity. Great for the style and nice to try! Well-recommended throughout, if you can find it! I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville, New Jersey on 06-January-2020 for US$3,99 sampled at my house here in Washington on 04-April-2020.

16 oz can from Tavour. Medium golden, small head, lots of suspended material. Aroma is fruity, splitting the line between citrus and tropical, hint of dirty, earthy, dank. Taste bears down on juicy territory, thick, and some residual bitterness and dryness. All of those floaters? They contribute to a nice thick mouthfeel. Getting better the more I continue.

Poured from can thanks Rob Bergin dated 8/25/17 light orange with a fluffy white head. Aromas of grain, caramel, dank citrus and floral hops. Taste is slightly sweet orange, mango, nice floral notes with a nice pine finish. ABV is well hidden.

Can at home fine deepe golden pour a few floaties though. Nose is juicy citrus. Tastes of lemons, juicy fruit gum, pineapple, honey mustard (whoever noted this below is exactly spot on), and slick alcohol on finish. Semi sweet and hot. Decent

Burk Blindtiger. Ljus klar Dipa !! Ovanligt nuförtiden. Doftar typ inte mycket. Oj överraskande mjuk klassisk ipa smak. Oj oj Såå balanserad . Melon, svagt tuttifrutti. Lätt till medelfyllig . Fasen vad olika Dipor kan smaka. Detta en nybörjar Dipa. Men jäkligt välgjord . Inte ett spår av tallbarr eller dammtorr efterbeska i svensk stil. Good

Pours clear gold into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving scant sheets. Caramel and scallion aromas. Soft with sour scallion and hot caramel upfront turning to dirty socks in the lasting finish.
