355ml can. Pours a slightly hazy orange-gold with a large, foamy, long lasting, white head that laces. Mild aroma of bready caramel malt, orange peel, earthy yeast and herbal hops. Sweet flavour of biscuit malt, caramel, orange peel, tangerine, earthy yeast and floral in a bitter grass finish. Medium body with an oily texture and soft carbonation. Nothing exciting, but a solid English IPA.

12 oz can from Tavour, 11/29/20. 2019 Version. Fun Rating #9090! Pour is dark brown with a small head. Aroma is bourbon and a little vanilla over some roasted and burnt malts. Not much subtlety here, just a big, boozy bourbon aged stout. Tasty. 8/4/8/4/17

Single can from Binny's, May 2020. VERY light yellow pour, a bit of haze, and a big fizzy head. As with really light beers, the smell is hard to pick out. Perhaps a bit of dad's beer, and perhaps some sodium from a pils style water profile. But with that expectation, the taste really does the dad's beer well. Light malts without the sweetness of adjuncts. Well, a little sweet, especially in the finish. But nicely, well, fizzy. Kind of a slow finish, but one more recommended summer beer.

12 oz can from Tavour. Black flat pour, oily, slick. Aroma is sweet, coconut, hint of almond. Taste brings more Mounds bar flavors, chocolate, before quickly being consumed by a healthy dose of alcohol burn. Sweet flavors linger, sticky.

Sampled from the tap at GMTW 2019. Pours a clear orange gold with a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces slightly. Aroma has a bit of pine with light citrus and a sweet grain and earthy bread backbone. Flavor has earthy citrus and a light pine note with a bread backbone.

THANKS! GIFT. 355 ml. can. No date. Golden bright, big soapy collapsing white head. Nose is huge sweet canned pineapple, pineapple candy, very nice. Great smell. Taste is weak, very high carbonation, very mineral, weird paper pineapple, none of the great candy & canned from the nose. Great smell but weak taste, over carbonated. Bitter washing powder finish. Too bad, smell is great.
