Can from Tavour: pours bright cranberry red with pinkish head that flowed all over the sides of my glass. Taste is light cranberry. Cinnamon is but a touch. Glad they dialed this back but it is ultimately not very interesting.

Aromas are malt with light cranberry. Flavors are similar to nose. Just slightly more tart than sweet with decent carbonation. A touch metallic. No cinnamon that I could find. Forgetable.

Can.
A- Raisins, molasses, whisky.
A- Dark brown color, dark liquid, minimal brown head.
F- Whisky, vanilla, brown sugar, oak, raisins, molasses.
T- Full body, average texture, average carbonation, complex finish.
O- Slightly rich but so much depth. A little purple grape does come through as it warms. I regret not getting more than one can and probably the only Horus beer I could ever afford. Very very tasty.

Can.
A- Pale yellow color, clear liquid, white head.
A- Citrus, fake lemon, mild grain.
F- Artificial lemon, cleaner, mild wheat.
T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, slightly unbalanced finish.
O- Nice to see a Husker craft brew. Of course this will please the Husker masses, but Kros Strain could do so much better. Pretty off tasting citrus wheat like something New Belgium might put out for fun Love the can artwork, but not so much the beer. Still cool but as boring and tasteless as Nebraska.

Can poured into an IPA glass. Hazy yellow gold with a huge off white head and spotty lacing. Aroma is juicy orange, mango, papaya, pineapple. Initial taste is all of that juiciness with a lychee richness to it. Fades to a subtle earthy hoppiness. Full body and subtle carbonation. Fantastic!

Draught at Pour 54: pours yellow with white head. Aroma is bready sugar nonsense. Taste is sweet. A little cloying. Ok. I guess.

A- Lemon, artificial, subtle pineapple.
F- Lemon, mild pineapple, slightly sweet, subtle grain, artificial.
T- Light body, average texture, average carbonation, balanced finish.
O- Tastes more like a shandy to me. So much lemon and pineapple it tastes artificial. Would have really loved it if the fruit flavor was more subdued. Still refreshing.
