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.

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.
