Can to glass from an X-Mas box from Tavour courtesy of my Mom! Pours turbid yellow with white head. Overt citrus and melon on the aroma and flavor. Maybe it was the alcohol, but the flavor was a bit muddled. Slight grassiness as it warmed.

16oz at RAUM pours a pulpy orange with some sudsy white head. First impressions of the nose: stale. Bitter orange peel, soggy grain, pith, cardboard. Some pine arrived when it opened up. Hops are faded in the flavor mostly leafy greens and stale bread, some hand soap and savory herbs too. Finishes overly bitter.

16 oz can from Tavour. Pour: NEIPA. Finely beaded head, solid lacing. Light fruity aroma, muted. Taste really opens up with a huge blast of citric hops, snappy, zesty, mix of tropucal and citrus fruits. Tongue tingler.
