12 oz can from Tavour, 5/14/20. Pours a clear brighter orange color with a thin off-white head. Dough, bread, and spice. Grass and citrus as well. Grainy and a little herbal. Kind of a tingly feel. On the dry side. Clean, decent beer, but it's a little dull overall. 6/4/6/4/14

hazy golden white color. Brings back childhood memories of reaching in the medicine cabinet for generic vitamin C in the plastic container. I get past the child lock lid and open and massive pungent oranges that reach back into the depth of the nostrils grabs you. Wow. Pungent. I detect some lemons in there as well. Low carbonation with excellent hop character and the vitamin C theme continues with lemons. I swear I feel healthier, or at least better, drinking this with every sip. So different. Juicy, but not acidic. Wow. Liked at first but starting to love. Really unique. Excellent

frothy white head. Deep golden color. Very interesting nose of onion, cheese, mango and citrus with a touch of crackery malt. Malt forward with cantaloupe cheese and onions and citrus notes. Odd hop profile. Decently made but hops don’t work for me

12 oz from a six pack. A month old. Aroma is cantaloupe, peach, passionfruit, orange rind. Pours hazy golden with a two finger bone-white head with great retention and lace. Taste is light to moderately bittersweet with juicy hop flavors. Tasty, very solid.

16 oz from a case bought from work. Aroma is cantaloupe, mango, pine, passionfruit, dank. Pours clear golden with a one+ finger cream-white head with excellent retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness with some candy sweetness and juicy hops balancing it. Nice creamy mouthfeel, but the carbonation is a little low. Good stuff.

12 oz. Aroma is vegetal, dank, earthy, biscuity. Pours mostly clear golden with large chunks of sediment and a one finger bone white head with decent retention. Taste is moderately to highly bitter with some light malt sweetness. Not really a fan, but it’s not horrible.
