Can from Tavour. Pours hazy gold with a large white head that failed to persist til it was half gone. Then it stayed. Aroma is dankish citrus. Med body. Juicy but towards dry. Nicely bitter. It is a bit dank, has citrus, and there is some tropical fruit with a light earth note that comes out. Nice flavor.

Reminds me of slow pour pils, I should have done a side by side, real nice!

On tap at Structures - Holly, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Nose has a bit of unfermented wort, straw, and subdued grassiness—this doesn’t smell quite right. Flavour is better, with crisp, biting, grassy hops, and a crisp crackery malt base. Still has some of that unfermented wort in there, and the Saaz spiciness isn’t quite coming through. It’s alright.

On tap at Structures - Holly, pours an opaque milky yellow with a small white head. Nose is pretty chalky, with plenty of hopburn, not much distinguishable hop expression. Flavour is much the same: egregious hopburn, plenty of chalk, rough graininess. There’s not really anything nice about this. Poor.

On tap at Ponderosa, pours a clear pale blonde with a small white head. Aroma has some skunky, grassy notes, and straw. Flavour is clean, with a grassy hop bite, crisp biscuity malt, and some straw. Clean and reasonably punchy for the style. Decent.

On tap at Structures - State St, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of dark chocolate, vanillin, huge bourbon barrel, and oak. Flavour is very rich, with deep bourbon barrels, tons of sticky dark sugars, cocoa, and some vanillin. The barrel character is maybe not the most exquisite but the blending and base beer are so sublime that they make up for it. Wonderful stuff.
