16oz can from Tavour. Cloudy orange/golden, sparse foamy head. Aroma is fruity, clementine, Belgian yeast, white chocolate. Taste opens with a hit of orange peel, before the big yeasty flavors kick in, malty, fruity.

Can from Tavour. Pours lightly hazy gold with a moderate creamy white head. Aroma of peach, passion fruit (not pineapple) and pale melon or perhaps lychee. Med body. Juicy but towards dry. Moderately bitter. Flavor pretty much goes as the aroma. The bitterness is persistent, but definitely not West Coast bitterness. A rather laid back flavor combination.

Real nice. White wine grapes, dry finish. Well balanced.
Thank you Heung-min Son. Ten years at Tottenham and stuck with us through thick and thin and got the ultimate reward. Will never forget his first goal vs Palace at the Lane.

Happy Independence Day!
Took The Ghost for a swim while drinking this really good Pilsner from EP. So much flavor at only 3.5%!

Can from Tavour drunk 6/29/25.
Nice and clear, deep bronze-golden. Large, off-white, pillowy head, strong retention.
Belgian yeast leads the way, which is nice to see. Wouldnt guess Riwaka, but this is also 3 months old. It IS very fruity, though, and there is certainly mineral. But none of the classic matchstick (which is probably a good thing). I assume they just added a pinch of hop to fruitify it, not to try and highlight the hop.
Oak is notable and lovely, in the flavor, with a round, structured feel with a touch of vanilla-caramel-butter on the end. Fruity, gently spicy Belgian yeast is prominent and well-done, containing nothing crude (no bubble gum, low clove). Just a well-rounded, well-aged, balanced and mellow, yet flavorful beer with excellent malt depth (honey, white bread, light biscuit), good attenuation and great tannin structure from the barrel, without it being overdone. My first Elder Pine beer, and I'm an instant fan.
Love the restraint and respect for tradition here. Depite all the interesting things they've done here (solera, oak, riwaka), this is a classic Belgian blonde first and foremost.

16oz can from Tavour. Hazy golden pour with a long lasting creamy white head. Aroma is a fruity blend of citrus and tropical, overripe fruit, mango. Taste leans mostly on the tropical fruits, mango, melon, guava, ending with a subtle dryness.
