16 ounce can from from Tavour. Yellow gold color. Pillowy white head. Bready, grainy malt aroma. Herbal hops notes as well. Flavor is more of the same. Light, bready malt, noble hops, mild citrus. Grassy notes on backend. Distinctive, yet incredibly refreshing.

16 oz can from Tavour. Clear golden pour, short-lived foamy white head, thin layer of foam remains. Grainy, bread aroma. Taste is biscuity, grainy leading up to a small snap at the finish. Nice hefty feel to this as well. Really nice all around, I can see why this has scored so well.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is grassy/ lightly spicy. Med body. Bready/malty but arguably dry. There's a slight grassy/spicy astringency. Or maybe a slight pink pepper note. Flavor is not strong, but it is very good.
