16 oz can from Tavour. Darker orange-gold, small finely beaded head. Tart orange peel, champagne aroma. Mimosas on the money. Taste is heavy on the brut, oranges, light saltiness. 11.5% brings some latent warmth. I would imagine that if you mixed a gose, a hazy IPA and a brut IPA, it would turn out like this.

16 oz. Aroma is SweeTarts, lemon, grain, OJ, cotton candy, bready. Pours hazy golden with a one finger off-white head that falls quickly into a ring. Taste is lightly to moderately sour (6/10), savory, lightly sweet, with a moderate to high pithy bitterness. Kind of boozy. Not really getting any salt. Tastes a lot like champagne with a light influence of orange, as described, and the bitterness reminds one that this is still a beer. Interesting concept. Too bad I'm not the biggest fan of champagne. That being said, I'd rather drink this than any kind of mimosa or champagne-based drink.

On draught. Very nice and lots of juice on both the aroma and flavor. Moderately hazy with minimal off-white head.

Can from Berkeley Bowl West. Pours hazy, dirty gold with an off-white head. Aroma of peach with a strawberry note. Med body or so. Flavor is juicy, fairly dry, bitter and has a flavor of peach - but apparently there's kiwi fruit, so the peach/kiwi combo comes out somewhat tart/bitter. Interesting. Not the soft peach I expected. Pretty good stuff.

Can from Star Grocery in Berkeley, CA. Pours translucent gold with a white head. Aroma of mixed pale stone fruit. Med body at least. Flavor is slightly roasty caramel with a lot of mixed pale stone fruit and maybe a touch of mango. Tasty stuff. Fruitily undry; quite hoppy in a non-harsh way; pretty bitter. Nice.

Tropics all over the aroma. Hazy honeycomb with white head that dissipates but patterns well down the glass. Flavor is also tropics dominated with a bit of a watery mouthfeel.
