16 oz can from Tavour, 11/25/19. Hazy golden-orange, thick first of off white head and fairly coating lace. Bright fruity hop aroma, peach, melon, papaya, and mango. Grassy, herbal, slightly dry. Nice, clean, tasty. Good mouthfeel. Nice beer. 8/4/8/4/16

16 oz can from Tavour. Hazy IPA. You know what it looks like. Aroma is melon, citrus, some tropical. Taste brings a slight spicy snap, hoppy notes, faint citrusy sweetness. Nothing out of the ordinary.

Can shared with the Bangkok Tasting crew. Poured a hazy golden orange colour with a thin white head. The aroma is grainy malt, stone fruits. The flavour is moderate to light bitter, with a crisp, super fresh, juicy citrus, light dry woody hop bitter palate. Medium bodied with average to soft carbonation.

Got in a trade with brutalfarce. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 11/23/2018. Pours very deep golden/amber color with a 1 finger fairly dense and rocky off white head with awesome retention, that reduces to a small cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt notes; with great strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Mild pine, citrus peel/zest, herbal, floral, grassy, spicy bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, honeydew melon, guava, blueberry, gooseberry, citrus peel/zest, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey/toast, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; with a solid malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Lightly increasing dryness from lingering bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready/grainy, lightly sticky mouthfeel that is fantastic. Slight lingering resins. Minimal warming alcohol for 7%. Overall this is an incredible NEIPA. All around fantastic complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical hops and bready malt flavors; very smooth and easy to drink with the mildly bitter/drying finish; amazingly soft feel. Amazing Citra/Mosaic profile. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and lightly dank/earthy hops; with a perfectly balanced wheat/oat/malt backbone. Light residual sweetness with lingering dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazingly spot on style example. Loved the hop profile as expected. I would buy this often if they were available to me.

16 ounce bottle thanks to Eugene. Pours a hazy orange color with a small to medium white head. A big sweet tropical nose. Big soft tropical flavors, peaches, mango, a soft husky malt base. Quite nice. Fresh.

Talboy can into keg shaped glass. There is no date on this but it just recently hit PA distro in my area. I had the previous 12oz can batch and this is my first in 16oz, so I think its fresh. Pours a nice version of hazy, pale color. I think Hooker does a good version of this substyle. Its not grassy or green hops, which is great. Nice soft mouthfeel and lighter carbonation. Juice, tangerine hops but can be a bit more juicy and a bit of mineral character getting in the way of the juiciness. But I like it.
