16 oz can from Tavour. Bright, orange golden, fine skin of head. Light fruity, tropical aroma, hint of lactose. Lactose is much fuller in the taste, sweet, light tropical flavors. Sweet, dry finish. Tropical creamsicle

16oz can pours out hazy golden topped with a white head. Nose is sweet guava tropical fruit hops and some vanilla. Taste is more of the nice sweet guava citrus hops and a little milkshake.

16 oz can poured, picked up at Hop and Hound, and brought up here by the brewers themselves apparently. Awesome! Welcome to Seattle! A delicious brew like this will do well here. Tried side by side with their pilsner. Also wonderful. A mostly clean golden orange pour, far from my hazy expectations, but I dont have a scale, nor a care in the world about that. Really juicy profile. Smooth tropical tones. Bright citrus combo. Flavorful, and fruity without the sweetness overhaul. Really nice IPA

Can from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours clear gold with a large creamy/foamy white head. Aroma is bready grassy. Near med body. Flavor is crisp and clean with rather nice breadiness and enough spice/grass to keep the malt down a bit. Definitely drinkable.

Pours a cloudy pale yellow colour and a dense white head with a small layer retention and good lacing. Aroma's: juicy and dank, with additional resin retronasal. Flavour is light bitter and light sweet. Medium bodied. Good carbonation. Long finish, light bitter.

Nitro at Cap Tap. Pours dark brown with a creamy tan (Guinness) head. Coconut rises from the pour. Approaching full bodied. Flavor is milky sweet with toasted coconut. Not dry. There is some chocolate and between that and the malt it’s bitter in a dark chocolate way. Tasty.

Can from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours translucent gold with a rather transient white head. Aroma is very tropical. Pretty sure guava is in it. Med body. Flavor is juicy, but fairly try. Caramel support. Going for both guava and passion fruit with some citrus (or lemongrass?). Nice flavors.
