16 oz can from Tavour. Pours out like any other hazy IPA. Strong mango, tropical aromas and taste. Nothing out of the ordinary here.

16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 10/19/2018. Pours very hazy/cloudy deep golden amber/light orange color with a 1 finger dense and rocky off white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Dense soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Incredible aromas with fantastic complexity and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, tangerine/zest, and bready malt notes; with big strength. Taste of huge tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, light peppercorn/pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, citrus peel/rind, herbal, floral, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of tangerine, orange juice, red grapefruit, lemon, peach, pear, pineapple, apricot, passion fruit, papaya, mango, melon, guava, gooseberry, citrus peel/rind, peppercorn, pine, wheat, biscuit dough, light honey, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Amazing complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, tangerine/zest, and bready malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no cloying/astringent flavors after the finish. Light-moderate increasing dryness from lingering hop/citrus bitterness. Medium carbonation and medium-plus body; with a very smooth, creamy/silky/bready, and fairly sticky/resinous/rindy balanced mouthfeel that is great. Minimal warming alcohol for 8.7%. Overall this an amazing DIPA! All around incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of citrus/fruity/tropical/earthy hops, tangerine/zest, and bready malt flavors; bery smooth and dangerously easy to drink for the the ABV with the modestly bitter/resinous/drying finish. Nicely soft feel, and not aggressive. Amazing Citra profile as expected. Extremely juicy, vibrant, and fairly dank/earthy hops/fruit; great wheat/oat/malt balance, not overly sweet from lingering resin dryness. A highly enjoyable offering, and amazing style example. The Citra complements the tangerine perfectly.

Aromas are semi fresh resin hops with a little body sweat and cabbage. Flavors are like nose Bittersweet with good carbonation and body. Decent beer.

Pounder: Crazy orange and vanilla creme nose with blackberry, cocoa, and subtle scallion accents. Cloudy amber, thin head. Orange and blackberry, vanilla. Full body, easy carbonation. Intense and tangy. Unique flavor combinations work but are still a little strange.

Super hazy copper coloured body with an almost fully opaque golden raw honey coloured glow with a thinnish, two centimetre tall off-white head. Aroma of cherries, light grain, honey, bitter hops and orange/curacao scents are noticeable along with a good deal of alcohol and resinous punch towards the end. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong rich cherry and fruity notes at first with a big deal of alcohol and malt noticeable with some vanilla and dry grain notes along with some pine, biscuity and grassy malts with a light bitterness from the hops, but mainly a fruity and sweet note that finishes it off. Aftertaste shows the punch and astringency from the higher alcohol notes with a good deal of bitterness and sweetness still that somehow don't seem to blend quite well, but they do both show equally here in this one. Overall, an interesting beer with some nice notes, but things that don't work out quite as effectively as designed are noticeable towards the end and throughout the finish. Nice to try, but not amazing - still an interesting beer throughout. I sampled this sixteen ounce, pint-sized can purchased from Hy-Vee in Omaha [Papillion], Nebraska on 06-November-2018 for US$4,99 sampled in my hotel room here in Downtown Omaha two days later on 08-November-2018.

Can, from CCity Hops. Pours extremely hazy/juicy rich yellow with small foamy off-white head, orange peel aroma, high carbonation, medium bitter orange taste with alcohol undertones, and grapefruit flavor, somewhat thick body, long finish. Juicy, satisfying.
