16 ounce can from Tavour. Clear brassy gold color. Frothy off-white head. Mild biscuity malt has honeyish notes. Flavor is sweet, bready malt with notes of caramel, honey and allspice. Some booziness in middle. A hint of bittersweet citrus on backend quickly fades to a dry finish.

Pour is a hazy orange with a small white head. Aroma is a toasted caramel malt. Flavor is a nice dry bready malt with some toffee and caramel but finishes dry. This is like drinking a Werther's original. Decent beer of a style not often found.

Can from Tavour. Pours light, bright copper with a decen white head. Aroma of almost toffee, but more like that in a Tmavy. Med body. Flavor is rather like that of a Tmavy, with some light citrus and floral. Maybe a touch of spice towards the finish. Nicely done.

Can from Tavour to glass. Nicknamed The Goat Rumbler by my daughter. Aroma is rich malt, bready. Clear copper-gold with ivory head that fades to a collar of small bubbles. Effervescent in the glass. Taste is large malt and a bit of an unusual orange-type of flavor. Seems to have alcohol heat, which was unexpected for the ABV. Finishes quick with a bit of a bitter spike.
