12oz can from Brewers Haven. Golden pour, thin creamy head, light lacing. Light grainy aroma with a burst of lemon. Taste is sweet and biscuity, lemon rind, citrus, and finishes fast.

12oz can from Brewers Haven. Dark, clear brown pour with a fizzy beige head. Aroma is light coconut and dark toasty malts. Coconut much more pronounced in the taste, along with some sweetness, tapering off to a dry and mildly bitter finish.

12 oz can. Aroma is floral, chalky candy, grassy. Pours lightly hazy pale golden with a thin off-white head that settles into a skiff quickly. Taste is mostly sweet backed by a building hop bitterness, finishing dry.

Thanks Sebastian.
Bottle to becher pint glass.
Appearance: glossy to transparent golden yellow color with a small cap of a little white foamy head. Light lace after dissipation.
Aroma: loads of citrusy and piney hops, big malty sweet bready notes
Flavor: somewhat blends decently to a little bit better than decent; mild citrusy and piney hoppy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability to it. citrusy hoppy finish
Overall: definitely a West coast styled IPA I would have again.

Tavour can: pours reddish brown with beige head. Aroma is toffee and some dark fruitiness. Not super complex. Pleasantly sweet.

16 oz can. Aroma is catty, piney, pineapple, dank. Pours lightly hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head with decent retention. Taste has a high pithy bitterness backed by insignificant crackery malt sweetness.

12 ounce can from Tavour. Chestnut brown pour. Frothy tan head. Excellent lacing. Sweet roasted malt aroma hints at dark dried fruits and toffee. Flavor is dried dark cherries, caramel, toasted nuts. Sticky mouthfeel, spicy hops. Lacks the earthy, peaty malt character associated with the style. Tasty, nonetheless.
