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.

Canned 9/30/25, drunk 1/18/26, as pictured.
Big one-two punch of lush malt and hops with rich, spicy dried herb and mild pepper. Super clean and seemingly crisp, with very fine, honey-like malt notes, a touch of mineral and perhaps a hint of pear.
Again the richness and flavor here is phenomenal. Reminds me of Human Robot and Schilling, though I've never had an Old Thunder beer, so maybe it would remind me of them too. Whatever the case, it's fresh, lush, rich succulent herb coupled with rich, lush, supple, honey-like maltiness and excellent, peppery bitterness with ample dryness and crisp yeast/mineral on the long, flavorful, clean finish.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright yellow gold color. Large frothy white head. Subtle notes of citrus and apple on the nose. Flavor is bittersweet and malty. Hints of biscuit, grain, cut grass and citrus pith. Light in body, yet wonderfully refreshing. Definitely see and taste the Human Robot influence here. Yum!
