Creamy golden and light peach coloured body with a thin tan head that fades pretty quickly and leaves a small lace on the sides. Aroma of hay, grass, some light wheat and biscuity malt notes and a heavy dose of yeast and bread here with little else, aside from some light caster sugar. Light to Medium-bodied; Strong biscuity and grassy malts show at first with a very small amount of hops coming from the European hops with low alpha acids with some soft sugars towards the end and some more heavy yeastie and breadiness here with little else. Aftertaste shows some oats and biscuity malts with a lot of grainy notes and no real complexity with some slight sweetness towards the end as well. Overall, a decent beer with some very small flavours and complexity, but a relatively clean and easy-drinking beer with only some mild malts and sugars here to make note of. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can, purchased from Whole Foods in New York (Bryant Park, 42nd Street), New York on 14-January-2023 for US$5,99 sampled on the streets of New York, New York with my wife and kids a few hours later on 14-January-2023.

Can from Tavour as part of Barrel & Flow Fest 2021 and cellared. Pours clear mahogany with a moderate tan head that slowly faded. Aroma is rich malt, bready with the smoke showing through. Snoke is more pronounced on the flavor with sweet malt and rich bread again. Nice beer.
