Undated can drunk 6/10/26.
That weird greyish tint to it that always makes me think oxidation...
Nose seems to confirm. No overt oxidation but malt is prevalent. Hops reduced to only vague fruitiness (or is that the yeast). Nothing offensive, but this isn't that old and I've kept it in the fridge, so it shouldn't smell like vague fruit and heavy graham cracker.
Bitterness up front leads to sweet, bready malt notes suggesting liquified graham cracker with honey. Again, there is no distinct hop flavor, just vague bitterness and bread that is going stale. A shame. Maybe my other can wasn't affected?
2nd can had a better pop to it, but obviously this must be hotside aeration, as this beer is extremely carbonated and has a large, well-retained head. Same candy-like sweetness, vague bitterness and no distinct hop flavor.

In the can aromas are citrus, musty, resin, tropical fruit and malt. Changes a little bit in the glass to malt and tropical fruit coming out more. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose and better. Citrus comes out more with decent body and good carbonation.

But quite mild aromas are citrus and dry grain. Flavors are similar to nose. Mildly sweet. Good carbonation and medium body. A little bit of Band-Aid. Definitely not one of their better brews.

Aromas are malt, citrus, resin and a bare hint of onion. Flavors are similar to nose. Very slightly more sweet than bitter or tart adding in some tropical fruit. Decent but not special.

Aromas are slightly sweet malt, toast and a hint of caramel. Flavors are similar to nose with excellent carbonation to balance. Really good bock beer.

Was kind of surprised at how quickly the head disappeared. Aromas are malt, citrus, resin and spice. Flavors are similar to nose. Good balance between bitter, sweet and just right carbonation. Nothing special at all but easy drinking.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Copper red pour is topped by a rocky beige head. Sweet toasted malt aroma has toffeeish notes. Sweet toasted malt flavor. Notes of caramel and toasted nuts. Rich and malty. Some peppery hops on backend. Well crafted and tasty.
