Can from Tavour. Pours dirty hazy gold with a monstrous foamy/frothy white head that slowly laced. Aroma of mixed fruits with a lot of citrus pith. Med body. Soft and luscious. Not sweet, tho juicy. Moderately bitter. A lot of light prunus fruits with citrus pith - more like grapefruit pith than the others. Very nice.

Can from Tavour. Pours dark brn/blk with a large creamy tan head that didn't persist for long. aroma of coffee, chocolate and pecans. Approaching full body. Not dry. Burnt malt bitter. Flavor is coffee, pecans and chocolate. Has a hint of the old jello chocolate pudding. With time it heads towards mildly astringent dryness. Doesn't get all the way tho.

750 c&c from Trader Joe's in Davis, CA. Loud cork pop. No overflow. Pours very dark brown with a large tan head that laced down slowly. Aroma is fruity plummy. Med body or so. Slightly sweet and bitter enough for balance. The flavor is very good, tho I wonder if it's not quite as fruity as the Canadian versions.
