Tap at the brewery. Hazy yellow with white head and walled patterns. Overt citrus on aroma and flavor. Really nice juice bomb. Very late in the flavor some nice dank support comes in. Solid all around and maybe the best hazy I’ve had from here.

Tap at the brewery. Aroma of rich malt. Clear mahogany with ivory head that rings the glass. Flavor is rich amber malt with a spritzy finish. Lacking hop characteristics if this is to be an American style, but really nice and enjoyable.

Aromas are MJ, a little bit of funk, citrus and malt. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose, on the sweet side, some carbonation and bitter but not balanced. Drinkable but not great

16 oz can from Tavour. Dark hazy golden pour, thin foamy white head settles down to a patchy layer. Overripe fruit in the aroma, apricot, melon, papaya. Taste is fruity and juicy, tropical, stone fruits, then introduces a sizeable bitter bite that dries it out. A lot of action up front, but finishes quick.
