Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a smallish white head. Aroma has a lot of citrus. Med body. Rather smooth. Juicy, but fairly towards dry. Nicely bitter. Flavor is mix of citrus types and then there's mango. Pretty good stuff.

Pint can. Pineapple aroma with notes of peach, passion fruit, lemon, mango, papaya and grapefruit. Pours hazy, pale golden colored with a finger of white head that has excellent retention and good lacing. Starts with juicy pineapple, passionfruit, mango and lemon flavors. Finishes a touch dry but quite smooth with peach, papaya and grapefruit flavors. Juicy, refreshing and excellent.

16 oz can that was given to me by my friend Chris. The pour is black brown, opaque, with a two inch khaki head that is lasting. Eventually falls with a pretty coating of lace. The aroma is roast, soft charred wood, brown sugar, pine and a soft fruit I can’t quite identify. The taste char roast malt upfront, then turns towards a whisper of brown sugar and finishes with quite a bit of pine, earth and mineral to the finish. The palate is medium bodied, soft natural carbonation and the dry, pine earth mineral crisp finish. Nice Export Stout, thanks, Chris.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a white head that left rapidly. Aroma is citrus with some light resin notes. Dry, tho malt support is clearly present. Nicely bitter. Flavor is orange, perhaps passion fruit, and some notes of earth and resin. Really good stuff.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brown with a small transient yellowish head. Aroma of very, very nice dark malt. Full bodied. Far from dry. There’s a lot of very nice English malt. There’s definitely some bourbon and wood. I think there’s a lot of floral hop. The flavor is just amazingly good.

Can from Tavour. Pours gold with a large white head that lightly laced. Aroma has pineapple. Med body. Flavor has pineapple and green melon. Rather tropical and somewhat juicy, but pretty dry. Very nicely bitter. Some resin, but not pine, surfaced eventually. Good tasting ale.
