Future proofing a style? Not too dissimilar to a barleywine, but heavier emphasis on the sweet, roasty malts. A bit of molasses and caramel. Quite good.

Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Lightly hazy honey brown with nice sparkle, thin head and nice soapy lacing. Aroma is grape-y, herb-y, mild pine, caramel, pils malts, hint of honey. Taste is pine, vague grape/herb, Pilsen over caramel malt and bitter. Smooth, relatively thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Interesting use of Nelson.

16 oz can. Aromas almost grassy. Wouldn’t call it white grape. But it certainly is grape like in the flavor with notes of spelt and Pilsner malt backbone. Mild pine essence that is never strong or overwhelming. This is a nicely refreshing IPA.
An abundance of passion fruit.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear light bright gold with a nice creamy white head. Aroma suggests lime leaves. Medium creamy body. Towards dry. Mildly bitter. Flavor is lime leaves, floral and detectable bready support. The flavor tends to occlude the malt. Interesting. Tasty.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour, lasting one finger foamy white head. Fruity aroma, peach, orange, melon. Quite a heady blend. Taste brings in some bready malts to balance the melange of fruit flavors, stone fruit, citrus, tropical leading to a dry finish. Full, creamy feel. Gave the remainder of the can a good swirl to see if there was any sediment, and although there wasn't a ton, it added a touch of fruity sweetness.

16 oz can from jcos, 7/24/24. Mostly clear golden-orange color with an off white head. Grainy and earthy, dough, some grass, and a little spice. Drinks fairly clean. This is a tasty brew.

Can shared by jcos, 7/11/24. Clear gold, thin white head. Light yeast, grain, spice, some subtle grape must, but not overwhelming. Very clean. Subtle and highly drinkable. 6/4/7/4/15
