Cloudy in a milkshake way. Whitish gold color. Moderate sized head which leaves some blanketing lace.
The smell is repulsive to me--it's a combination rotting carion and old fish.
The taste is a dramatic improvement. This beer is a hop-laden offering with very little malt outside of the very first sip. Above average body with a higher carbonation level. The hop dominates but doesn't overwhelm. Dry overall with a bit of apricot in the background.

16oz can from Tavour. Straw colored pour, hazy, milky, one finger fluffy white head. Aroma is fruity rind, citrus and piney notes. Taste is grapefruit, oranges, floral character and some evergreen. Milky feel.

Pours a light hazy golden color with a nice head and lacing
Aroma has very generous tropical and citrus hints
The taste follows the nose with a very well balanced tropical and citrus flavor
A medium bodied well carbonated beer
A great IPA

Can poured into a Mountain Rambler Brewery pint glass
A: Pours hazy golden amber with a frothy eggshell white head that slowly settles to a firm layer and leaves plenty of thick lacing.
S: Mix of super ripe tropical, stone fruit, and citrus, a touch of spicy pine, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
T: Ripe tropical and stone fruit, mango, apricot, peach, passion fruit, grilled pineapple, and a hint of papaya, citrus, lemon lime, orange, and grapefruit, a little spicy pine, subtle Southern Hem diesel, biscuity bready malt, and caramel sweetness.
M: A little on the fuller side of medium body, moderate carbonation, soft on the palate.
O: My can is a little over 2 months old and while you can tell it's not super fresh, what's there is still pretty solid. Wish I found it when it was fresher, but I'm just happy to try it at all. Hopefully I'll get lucky and my area will get another shipment.
