16 oz can. Aroma has notes of biscuity malt, grapefruit. Pours nearly clear golden with a half finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a moderate to high pithy bitterness with very little sweetness. Kind of bland.

16oz can from Tavour. Clear golden body, thin, sturdy, tight white head. Big biscuity, grainy aroma right from the start. Taste is biscuity, crisp, with a fair amount of bitterness. Everything you'd expect in a lager, but amped up a bit.

Gold pour. Thin foam around the rim. Scattered lace. I love lemon so this beer is up my alley. All lemon flavor with a lemon Pledge palate. Light bodied and light carbonation

473mL can. Pours nearly black with a beige head. Dry toasted bread and woody smoke on the nose. Flavour has bread crusts, a gentle roast, subtle wood smoke, and crisp dry grass. I really liked the nose, the flavour was a bit tame, but it was very nice once it came to temperature a bit.

Canned 9/19/25, drunk 11/19/25, as pictured.
Spicy and earthy with that sort of papery French yeast. Unripe, but not acidic apples and fresh herbs with just enough honey-like maltiness to keep it from being too dry.
Same in the flavor, where it's pushing it on the dryness and paper/cracker. But it's got lovely, spicy, fresh herbal hops done right and is clean with light mineral. Interesting and not a cookie cutter pilsner.

16 ounce can from Tavour. A Brewver Top 50 in the Smoked/Rauchbier category. Translucent dark brown pour. Large rocky tan head. Roasted malt aroma has a hint of smokiness. First sip brings dark roasty notes. Hints of chocolate and smoked malt, as well. Smooth and flavorful. The smokiness is evident, yet subdued. Tasty.

Aromas are resin, malt, citrus with spice and floral. Flavors are similar to nose and lean a bit tart. Matched by bitter and enough sweet to work. A little different and very tasty. Good beer.

Tavour: pours darker brown with beige head. Aroma is slightly smokey, some dark fruitiness, toasty malts. Taste is smokey and a little sweet. Light bitterness. Not bad.
