Pint can pours with a murky opaque dirty gold colored body that supports a dirty off white head of foam. The modest aroma offers up vague citrus and grapefruit and maybe a bit of white grape. The taste is . . . whoa, what the fuck. Why is this so damn sweet. It is soft, it is sweet, it is juicy but man, the sweetness is the dominant flavor. Gross. I may not finish this.

Can, from Broadway Dive Bar, Manhattan NYC (May 2025). Pours murky rosy brown with a very small furity head that disappears immediately, acidic piney aroma, high carbonation, initially sweet citrus-piney taste, medium tart, thin body, long medium tart finish. Interesting brew despite the unappealing look.

Pours very hazy yellow. Smells of citrus and pine hops. Flavor is maybe moderately bitter. It’s a strong one though much of the alcohol is buried. Juicy and citrusy.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown, mahogany pour with a ring of beige foam. Sweet aroma, part roast, part egg nog. Taste adds some faint milky notes, accentuating the egg nog. Savory, dry finish.
