Can from Tavour. Pours dark amber with a large foamy beige head that laced. Aroma of lightly toasty bread with some florals. Almost med body. Flavor is pretty much the aroma plus some Noble grass/spice. Fairly balanced. Good drink.

Aromas are cut grass, malt, stale bakery. Flavors are similar to nose and on the sweet side. Good carbonation and enough bitter to balance. Still, a little too sweet for me.

Aromas are wet grain, biscuits and a bit of citrus. Flavors are similar to nose with well balanced bitter, sweet and carbonation. Body is a touch on the thin side. Drinkable and forgettable.

16 oz can. Aroma has soft honey grain, bread-like malt. Flavor is the aroma with addition of some floral type hops in the finish. The same floral hops provide a mild bitterness. Body is light and borderline watery.
