16oz can from Tavour. Hazy, thick pour, silky tight head. Aroma is vanilla ice cream, citrusy notes. More vanilla in the taste, but the citrus is more robust, oranges, grapefruit peel. Zippy, zesty finish along with some velvety sweetness.

The aromas are fresh citrus hops, straw, dry grass and some pale malt hint of resin. Flavors are somewhat similar to nose a touch more sweet then either the bitter or carbonation. Good full body and finish follows flavors. Very good drinking beer

16oz can. A perfectly acceptable Cream Ale, nothing really off about it. Pretty bright for the style, I like to see a little more or a creamy, sweet feel. Sort of an awkward hop balance. OK. Grows on me. Very drinkable, as per style.

16oz can from Tavour. Black pour, fizzy beige head fades to flat. Aroma is chocolate, cinnamon, light coffee. Taste brings more chocolate, vanilla, coffee, honey, cinnamon. Coffee bitterness lingers. Slick, not too heavy, ABV is masked well.

16oz can. Opaque, thick, orange-tan body. Thin, white head. Massive over-the-top hop tone. Big tropical island melon tone. Sweetish oaty wheat? body. Undeniably pretty solid for the style. Huge lasting hop depth, on the edge of hop burn.
