Can from Tavour: pours light orange haze with white head. Aroma is citrus and light tropical fruit. Taste is sweet, maltier than it should be, hop profile is fine, but unrefined. Drinkable but nothing fancy.

16oz can pours out purple with a pinkish head. Nose is nice tart sweet raspberries some light wet wheat. Taste is more of the nice sweet tart berry combo and a nice end.

750mL bottle pours with a murky mahogany colored body that supports a lasting light tan head of thin foam. The aroma offers up a blend of sweet smelling prunes and malt drenched nuttiness followed by a bit of boozy heat. The taste follows suit with a pleasing sweet dark fruity ester sensation of prunes and dates. It then picks up notes of sweet malts, a hit of molasses and then a vague yet sweetened nutty character. Toward the finish the booze takes over for a bit of edge and providing a nice counter to the sweetness that's going on here. This is bright in spots and tries to become too sweet but doesn't. This is a nice sipper.

Pint can pours with a deep dark mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up booze soaked smooth bourbon and then lesser amounts of dark roasted malts, jammy prune dark fruity esters, chocolate and a faint molasses note. The taste delivers smooth supple bourbon ringed thinly by brighter hotter boozy notes. Just beneath the booze is a pleasing layer of chocolate and sweet prune and date dark fruity esters. To midway mild notes of caramel and molasses join up with the chocolate in a failed attempt at beating back the booziness. Into the finish a firm sense of spicy oak wonders about the fields of bourbon and booze to help drive this experience to closure. Booze shows up in this rating but it isn't out of place or too much in any sense for a beer like this. It's basically spot on. Great balanced sipper.

Pint can pours with a dark dark body that supports a thin dark tan head of foam. The aroma offers up dark roasted malts laced with thin rivers of chocolate and a bit of oily rich coffee. The taste delivers chocolatey smooth roasted malts building into sweetened dark roasted coffee and dark roasted malts. To midway it becomes slicker with some residual sugars bubbling to the surface with a thin toffee like sensation. Wow. 15.5%. The ABV is hidden really well and does not thin out the body hardly at all. This is a solid sipper.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque copper to dull gold colored body that supports a nice light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up busts with inviting clouds of mango, tangerine, peach and then fresh cut tangelo. The taste delivers smooth juicy tropical citrus goodness. I get mango blended with tangerine and tangelo flowing into thinner notes of guava, cantaloupe and a mild maltiness. This is smooth, juicy, tangy and bitter with a wide load of tropical and citrus hoppiness. Solid brew with very little sense of the big ABV.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque dull gold copper body that supports a full semi creamy off white head of foam. The aroma pushes up clouds of tangerine, tangelo, mango and a bit of honeydew melon. The taste delivers similar notes with tangy juicy tangerine and tangelo mingling with sweeter softer mango and honeydew. To midway a thin murmur of cracker like maltiness is noticed creating another tasty facet to the experience. This drinks great.

32oz crowler pours with a murky opaque dull gold copper body that supports a full semi creamy off white head of foam. The aroma citrus pith, clementine, guava and a hit of lime. The taste delivers similar notes that are kind of grapefruit, some citrus pith and a bit of lime blended into softer sweeter guava and mango. The modestly sharp citrus hop bitterness rides along in the flavor right into the after taste creating a nice counter to the sweetness. There's zero sense of this IIPA's ABV. Nice beer.

32oz crowler pours with a somewhat hazy deep gold to to dirty gold colored body that supports a nice near white head of foam that leaves behind some spotty lacing. The aroma offers up citrusy clementine, tangelo, some mango and guava and then murmurs of malts in the background. The taste delivers juicy and tangy clementine, tangelo and tangerine leading the hoppy charge. In the background are sweeter and softer notes of guava and mango. This works well with plenty of tangy hoppy citrus hop bitterness to keep the softer sweeter notes in check. 10% abv. Not sure. Tastes like it could be 7.5%. Solid offering.

32oz crowler pours with a nearly opaque dirty copper gold body that supports a thin near white head of foam. The aroma offers up melon, a hit of lime, mango, a sense of berries and some inviting grainy maltiness. The taste delivers a wide variety of notes running from floral hops, melon and a bit of melon rind to softer juicier notes of mango and cantaloupe. This is working well as there's a balance of bitter and soft sweet hops. To midway and into the finish a pleasing malty cracker like graininess bubbles to the surface. This is nice!
