Can from Tavour. Pours clear brilliant gold with a large creamy white head. Aroma is bready biscuity with moderate Noble aromas. Med body. Flavor is the aroma but the Noble grass/spice is large and there's a hint of something herbal. It's really nice and tasty beer.

Can from Tavour. Pours clear dark brown with a moderate creamy tan head. Aroma of dark bread - like rye without caraway - and some non-dark fruits. Med body. Malty, dark bready but not sweet. Flavor is like a raisin/date mix with rye and some chocolate notes. Nice drink.

8oz at the brewery pours a hazy gold with some creamy, lacey white head. Huge citrus nose, as you'd expect. Not dank or bitter feeling though. Tangerine and grapefruit, but also passionfruit and even lychee. Flavor gets more citrus peel and more herbal even. Lavender sneaking in. The body is weird. Adds some sweetness that muddles everything. Could that be fruit juice? Maybe but it almost has a lactose feel. Fruity finish that has some breakfast cereal that lingered.

8oz pour at the brewery is a gorgeous clear brown with some grey head. Nose has malt and toast, bread crust, a little treacle, Flavor has some banana, the fermentation could be a pinch overdone, otherwise the grain is so nicely represented. Hops tickle the front of the tongue. Just off dry, medium bodied.

8oz pour at the brewery is lightly hazy over a bright yellow body. Some lacey head. Bright citrus nose, grassy and dank. Old school and really invites you in. Grist is crackery, light honey and just a backbone for the hops. Green and grassy, citrus, soap and even a little pine. Solidly medium bodied, lightly bitter and super easy to drink. Good flagship beer.

8oz pour at the brewery is a clear, lovely earthy brown with some lacey, beige head. Nose has malt and sweet tea, some tootsie roll but not overly sugary, continental hop is lurking. Flavor really brings it. Malty, crackery, brown sugar, tea leaves. Light peppery hop. Really well balanced. Dry, medium bodied. Super easy to drink.
