16 ounce can from Tavour. Number one with a bullet. Brassy gold pour is topped by a rocky beige head. Bready malt aroma is balance by spicy, herbal hops. Flavor is sharp and distinctive. Big spicy hops are the rule here. The hop bill brings notes of grapefruit, pine, dank citrus and black pepper. As promised, an old school/ West coast pedigree brings you back to the late 1990’s and early 2000’s when massively hopped IPAs were making their mark on the craft beer scene. This is certainly a sip down memory lane.

16 ounce can from Tavour. Bright, brassy gold pour is topped by a large pillowy white head. What a gorgeous looking beer! Piney hops on the nose. Flavor is bittersweet citrus and pine. Firm malty notes balance this nicely. A stellar example of the West Coast IPA style. Peppery hop finish.
gave a cheers!

Dark brown. Medium head, thick head. Biscuity malt, though not much complexity. So it's okay.

Clean, bitter. Good quality IPA with clean pale malts and lots of very good centennial character.

16 oz can, pours a lightly hazy pale golden blonde with a small white head. Nose has gentle gooseberry, lychee, and soft citrusy hops. Flavour reveals a wonderful expression of the NZ hops, with plenty of gooseberry, white wine tang, citrusy hops, and a touch of pine, backed with a thin biscuity malt base. Crisp, hoppy, and well-balanced. Excellent.
