16 oz can. Aroma has notes of pine, citrus peel, crackery malt. Pours hazy golden with a two finger soapy white head with excellent retention. Taste has a light bitterness with flavors of citrusy, piney hops and crackery malt that provides light sweetness. Maybe a bit past its prime, but who knows with no date stamp on the can. Pretty thin bodied.

Half a good beer. Starts out as an amazing NEIPA, pillowy and soft and full of lush notes of citrus and tropical fruit underlined by a modest sweetness...and then nothing. The back end is echoes of the aforementioned and a long, empty chasm where some sort of balancing bitterness should be. Bummer.

Another 16 oz can purchased from the people at Half Time in NY. A snifter in place, I tilt the can in a pour. A lemonade dense and colored body finished with a pillowy head of completely white foam. I smell a nice combination of tropical and citrus notes and perhaps some hoppiness. The taste is much more vibrant and pretty fine in first impression. Lemons and limes, a touch of orange juice, a surprising mango sweetness as a counter to the bit of bitterness and I detect crackers. Relatively dry and there’s a soft sensation as a mouthfeel. I call this an easy drink.

Nice Kölsch, balancing a gentle grainy sweetness laced with hints of citrus and straw, followed by a firm, spicy floral Saaz bitterness. Solid pint.

Panda thanks to Cloin. A light haze on this gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a thin creamy sweetness and a fair bit of grain. Light cooling pine into mildly bitter- tangy citrus that is also slightly ripe. Light and semi dry finish. Tastes a little aged but, not unpleasant.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, silky thin beige head. Light roasty, nutty aroma, dark chocolate. Malty, woody, nutty, with a nice roasty vibe. Smooth, chocolaty. Absolutely delicious.

16 oz can. Aroma is sweet malt, sweet corn, cooked asparagus. Pours hazy golden with a two finger soapy white head with great retention. Taste is sweet malt backed by moderate herbal hop bitterness. I’m wondering how old this is, because it’s not that good. I don’t see a date stamp.
