12oz can from Tavour. Cloudy, dark golden with a nice creamy head. Light fruity aroma. Fruit gives way to hops on the taste, classic NW hoppiness. Fruit, tropical notes hang in the background. Bitterness lingers.

12 ounce can into pint glass, canned on 11/7/2018. Pours moderately hazy reddish/pinkish orange color with a 1 finger fairly dense and fluffy light pink head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Nice spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of lightly tart/tangy raspberry, peach, fruit skin/seed, lemon peel, juniper, spruce, strawberry, cranberry, hibiscus, coriander, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance and complexity of fruit, spices, and pale/wheat malt notes; with solid strength. Taste of lightly tart/tangy raspberry, peach, fruit skin/seed, lemon peel, juniper, spruce, strawberry, cranberry, hibiscus, coriander, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness. Light-moderate herbal, floral, grassy, citrus peel bitterness; coriander, juniper spiciness; and slight fruit tang/tartness on the finish. Lingering notes of raspberry, peach, fruit skin/seed, lemon peel, juniper, spruce, strawberry, cranberry, hibiscus, coriander, peppercorn, wheat, cracker, white bread, herbal, floral, grass, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Very nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, spices, and pale/wheat malt flavors; with a nice malt/bitter/spiciness balance, and no astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitter/spiciness and carbonation. Medium-high carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy/sticky, fairly crisp, and slightly acidic/tangy balanced mouthfeel that is nice. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.6%. Overall this is a very good fruited/spiced blonde ale. All around nice complexity, robustness, and balance of fruit, spices, and pale/wheat malt flavors; very smooth and fairly crisp/refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/spicy/drying finish. A little more bitter/spicy than expected, but well made style example. Very well balanced fruit, spices, and pale/wheat malts; with minimal residual sweetness from crisp dryness. A very enjoyable and unique offering.

Can. Blueberry, salt, sour milk, and hay aroma. Purple amber with small head. Mildly sweet blueberry, wheat malt, light salty, and mildly bitter hay flavor. Okay body. Not bad.

Nice stone fruit fresh hop aroma balanced with wet grain and pale malt. The flavors are balanced between bitter and sweet with great carbonation to round it out.

12 oz can from Tavour. Canned a month ago. Pours hazy golden with a thick off-white head with excellent retention. Aroma is pineapple, mango Mambas, cantaloupe, SweeTarts. Taste is highly bitter, kind of boozy, but not 9.5 boozy. Doesn't taste very fresh, even though it's by no means old. Perfect mouthfeel. Kind of underwhelming overall.

Okay, a bit too heavy-handed with the coriander, adding a soapy, mildly vegetal backbone to an otherwise basic pale ale-ish IPA. Citric hops add mild notes of grapefruit, while the back end mixes crackers, grass, and white bread. Crisp and bright, though, and the nose is nice.

From drfabulous. thanks! Pours dark brown with a nice looking, frothy beige head. Aroma is a lot of raspberry, which can be smelled from a great way away. Raspberry so powerful that it is hard to get a whiff of the chocolate. Taste is sweet. Chocolate shines more in there. Although a sort of dry raspberry definitely is in there. Some nutty notes. Interesting. Not something I would have normally purchased but a solid drink nevertheless.

Pretty sparse, even for a kolsch. Mild grainy sweetness with hints of corn against a nigh-nonexistent floral hop finish. Seltzery, beer-ish, and better than macro light crap, but not much else going for it.
