Cloudy yellow body with a big white head. Big lemon, lime, melon, and slightly weedy hops in the nose. Taste hits the melon first hard with stale bread and orange zest, some lime esters permeate toward the finish of herbal hops with slight burn. Feel is bready, decently hopped, burn is not felt as it was tasted, pale, higher carbonation drives finish.

Clear, deep gold body; fine, gently rising carbonation; thick, dense, creamy head; thick, white sheets of foam coat the glass. Pungent, spicy smell backed with some sweet esters. Rich, earthy sweetness and spiciness with the taste; moderate offset of hop bitterness; hint of alcohol presence. Heavy body with a mild coarseness; big residual sugar feel; nice play between sweetness and dryness on the palate.
This is a well-rounded and very tasty double India pale lager. It seems close to a DIPA, but the label clearly states it's a lager.
Canned 03/19/21 and served at 53° F.

16oz can into a pint glass. Canned 3/19/21, so 6-7 weeks old.
Looks good in the glass. Slightly hazy yellow body with a bright white head which persists throughout leaving good scattered lacing.
There is a clean sweet grassy aroma.
On tasting, very nice indeed. Sweet, floral, grassy, and a good hop prescence. Abv quite well hidden.
Mouth between full and medium, finish refreshing malty floral goodness.
Overall, went down way easier than would be advised. Clean, crisp drink. Sorry to only have the single.

A: The beer is a little hazy yellow in color and has a light to moderate amount of visible carbonation. It poured with a half finger high bright white head that consistently left a short head covering the surface and lots of lacing down the sides of the glass.
S: Light to moderate aromas of honeydew melon are present in the nose along with hints of lychee.
T: The taste follows the smell but has stronger flavors of lychee fruit. Little to no bitterness is perceptible.
M: It feels medium-bodied, clean and a bit juicy on the palate with a moderate amount of carbonation.
O: This lager is very easy to drink. It is nice and juicy and could be a New England IPL if there was such a style.
Serving type: can

16oz can from Tavour. Cloudy golden pour with creamy white head. Full bread dough aroma, sweet with a hint of hops. Taste balances the biscuit malts and hops perfectly, coupled with a thick, creamy body for a really full mouth feel. This brew pushed all the right buttons for me. The barely noticable 8.4% ABV puts it over the top.

An interesting beer. Canned 3/19. Very cloudy, gold color, mild lacing. Dank, funky, yeasty, malty smell. Taste is juicy, citrusy notes of orange and lemon, then followed by a malty yeasty base. Lighter to medium bodied but bigger than your average lager, alcohol presence is definitely there, mouth filling, a crisp easy sipper.
