Pours unclear, darker blonde. medium sized, stable white creamy head. Smell is intense, rich tropical fruits (papaya, mango, passion fruit, ... very nice! Taste is rleatively bitter, perhaps slightly too bitter for a NEIPA, yet not extreme. Medium body (not as creamy as I had hoped). Fairly easy drinkability. Decent IPA

473ml can. Hazy, yellow-ish, pale golden colour with average to huge, thick, creamy, moderately lasting and lacing, white head. Slightly restricted, citrusy and piney, hoppy aroma, hints of lemon, tangerine, resin, pale malty background with a minimally sweet-ish touch of peanut, herbal overtones with a touch of juniper berry. Taste is dry, citrusy and piney, minimally herbal hoppy, woody hints of pineapple, some juniper berry, a touch of lime; lingering, dry hoppy finish. Oily texture, creamy palate, fine but efficacious carbonation. Neither the juciest nor the most aromatic NEIPA, quite low on fruity aspects, but well crafted.

16 oz. Aroma is chocolate, strawberry, wet stone, dark bread, bad breath. Pours black with a thin beige quickly collapsing head; settles into a ring after a few seconds. Taste is lightly sweet, lightly tart, roasty, light to moderately bitter, finishing lightly dry.

16 oz can from Tavour, 2/12/20. Pours a dark brown color with a smaller, thin head, no lace. Pretty much what they described, vanilla, strawberry, and chocolate all coming through. Fairly sweet, as you'd expect. Well made, very sweet, not cloying. Quite good. 8/3/8/4/16

16 oz can from Tavour, 11/7/19. Hazy light golden, small white head. Big orange aroma. Sweet vanilla too. Definite orange creamsickle thing here in taste and feel. Pretty darn tasty. Very sweet. I like it as a one off, and I think the flavors are right on point for what they were going for, but this one is too sweet and too sticky for me to want more than one. 8/4/8/3/16

16 oz can from Tavour, 11/5/19. Hazy reddish-pink color, kinda looks like pink grapefruit juice. Lots of red berry in the aroma. Drinks fruity (both sweet and tart), while the vanilla and milk sugar add a good bunch more sweetness to it. The carbonation here is more tingly than expected, not that creamy lactose feel you get in most of these heavy lactose beers. I guess I would describe this one as somewhere between a Sour IPA and a Milkshake IPA. Well made, but not something I'd expect I would want more than one of. 7/3/8/3/15
