Looks great. Dark amber body with off white head. Full malt aroma with some green from the hop. Full taste and over the tongue lasting finish. Thank you Tyler.

16 oz. can, pours a clear amber with a medium white head. Nose has plenty of bready malt and a touch of caramel. Flavour is very malty, with lots of bready caramel, toasted malt, and a hint of red fruitiness. Really nice malt structure and on-point. This is great.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Brassy gold pour. Frothy beige head leaves spotty lacing. Light bready malt aroma. Flavor is sweet toasted malt with a hint of toffee. Smooth and flavorful with a touch of hop bitterness in the finish.

Can from Tavour. Pours bright gold with a transient head. Aroma of amber malt/caramel. Med body. Malty but hardly sweet. Lightly bitter. Malt/caramel for flavor. Hop has a light spice aspect.
