16 oz can. Aroma has notes of clove, old books, dusty basements, hint of banana, pine. Pours lightly hazy golden with a large off-white head with good retention. Taste is lightly dry with some background hoppy bitterness; it’s a little bland and lacking the character teased by the promise of the great aroma. A bit watery. A good but not entirely successful attempt at an authentic Belgian golden ale.

Undated can as far as I can tell, drunk 11/15/25, as pictured.
Quite hoppy but not acidic or overbearing. Just a nice, fresh, spicy hop with both unripe tropical fruit and fresh herb. Light pepper and finally some biscuit and highly attenuated honey-like malt. Clean and aromatic.
Nice and chewy with big malts but no big sweetness. Soft and hoppy with pleasant but mild bitterness. Some mineral, some spice, some grape. Rustic and fun. Clean and snappy.

16oz can from Tavour. Dark brown pour, spotty fine head. Roast malt aroma, burnt toast. Taste brings pumpernickel flavors, mild bitterness, trace of coffee. Not as much rye character as I was expecting.
