16oz can from Tavour. Thick, cantaloupe colored pour, fine head, rings of lacing. Tropical aroma, melon, light dank notes. Fruity taste, melon, dank hops, a nice sting at the finish. Thick and chewy. ABV is a slow build from start to finish.

The aromas are lots of citrus, mainly grapefruit and orange with a little bit of resin and weed. Flavors are similar to nose, resin comes out a little bit more but it is juicy. Nicely bittersweet with good carbonation, body and finish. Hint of booze at the end. Tasty beer.

On tap at the brewery as part of a release for SF (California) Beer Week....the only event I hit this year. Described as a NEIPA, but this is only slightly hazed and golden. Nice fruity aspects.

From can to pint glass. Spicy esters and grain on the nose. Pours clear light gold. Very small head that dissipates immediately, leaving no head. Effervescent bubbles. Flavor is grainy and spice with a moderate bitter bite at the end. Leads into a slightly soft mouthfeel at the end. Spritzy.

16oz can from Tavour. Murky orange golden pour, small, thin silky head. Aroma is fruity, tropical and citrus, with some dank character. Taste focuses on the musky dank flavors, bitterness up front. Still some fruity notes lurking in the back. Creamy, lingering bitterness.

From can to glass. Grapefruit aroma predominates. Clear yellow with full and sustained white head. Flavor is grapefruit and pine. Moderate bitterness. Aroma develops nice perfume aspects as it warms.
