16 ounce can from Tavour. Murky orange gold color. Large, creamy off-white head is dense and thick. Big tropical citrus aroma. Flavor is intensely bittersweet with bold notes of grapefruit, orange and mango. Incredibly juicy, but with a dank, bittersweet edge. Well done.

Can (9/19/25) shared by CLW--thanks, Chris! Opaque, milky yellow, ring of head. Aroma is candied fruit, like Smarties. Taste is candied fruit, oats, malt, late dank. Smooth, thick texture, full bodied, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Really thick from all the oats. Was hoping for a bit more identifiable Nelson.

16 oz can. Aroma is pineapple swipe herb. Soft florals.. Flavor has the fruit with the addition some lingering herbal hop bitterness. I normally really like this bass beer. Perhaps maybe I’m not a huge fan Riwaka. Comes off more herbal than I normally care for.

473ml can. Hazy, orange golden colour with average to huge, dense, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Grassy, piney, resinous and slightly (citrusy) fruity, hoppy aroma, wheaty and oaty malty background, notes of fresh hay, some melon, pear and grapefruit, a touch of white grapes and unripe kiwi fruit. Taste is bitter, grassy, piney and resinous as well as fruity hoppy, wheaty and oty malty basis with low residual sweetness, notes of grapefruit, grapefruit peel, some orange, fresh hay, gooseberry, kiwi fruit, melon, pear, peppery spicy, yeasty overtones; lingering, zesty bitter finish.
Oily-watery texture, smooth, minimally greasy, simultaneously quite dry palate, medium to fine, dense, prickly carbonation.
Bitter, punchy, dank and fruity - very good!

16oz can from Tavour. Milky, hazy yellow pour, thin, silky white head, rings of lacing. Light grapefruity aroma, zesty, bread. Taste brings a dollop of grapefruit peel up front, mealy , bready malts, juicy. The citrus zest is consistent throughout the session. Not too much, but enough to be the center point of this beer

Aromas are mainly not super fresh resin with some citrus and herbs. Flavors are similar to nose with citrus and herbs coming out more. Bittersweet. Okay buddy and carbonation. Slightly sweet finish.

Canned 9/22/25, drunk 11/17/25, as pictured.
Wow is there more hop in here than anything else?? I'm getting more hops than I ever remember out of a Milkshake IPA. Back it with some dry chai spice, light lactose and light vanilla and call it a day!
Still nice and hoppy in flavor with more dry chai spice that IS NOT overdone. Man, the amount of Autumn spiced beers that have the spicing overdone is staggering. Feels like 95%+. If anything, there's a bit too much lactose here. Chai does help dry things out, as well as the hop, but it's not TOO malty. Comforting, though. And shockingly well-done for how disgusting these beers sound on paper.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Hazy yellow god pour. Immense, pillowy white head. Room filling , dank weed and pine aroma. Flavor is bready malt that is overpowered by the intense dank hoppiness. Some notes of pineapple and vanilla, but the dankness rules here. Quite interesting.
