Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bright and slightly transparent yet glossy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: star fruit, mango, lemon and grapefruity hoppy notes with some sweet oats and a clean malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together closer to the sweet side with a light note of some bitterness; finishes crisp with the mango, star fruit and grapefruit
Texture: medium bodied, very sessionable; extremely smooth along the tongue with some creamy tones
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would love to come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: that's some thick orange coloring! Two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet flowers, grapefruity, orange pulpy, somewhat perfumey and a light tone of sweet pine / maybe spruce, light dose of clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly sweet with some bitterness trying to make a good play of balance; finishes with the sweet floral to grapefruity tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, some smoothness along the tongue but some bitterness pulling at my tongue
Overall: not a bad DIPA by these guys, I must say - this is interesting to say the least.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper in color with some transparency about it and a three finger white foamy head which dissipated slowly to leave some light lace.
Aroma: pineapple to mango sweet hoppiness with clean malts
Flavor: great blend of bittersweet character wrapping the prior noted aromas together pretty nicely, mild finish of pineapple & mango semi-sweetness
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness along the tongue
Overall: nicely done single hopped IPA worthy of returning to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: cloudy burnt orange in color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely and left some light lace
Aroma: tropical fruity hops and noticeable mango hoppy scents, smooth fruity hoppy whiffs, clean malts
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together leaning towards the sweeter side with a lower bitterness level, finishes tropically fruity smooth
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth across the tongue
Overall: another beer that Bent Hill shows us how they are getting to be a better brewer. I'd come back to this.

Went through a four pack, final can was poured into a stange, here are my thoughts.
Appearance: slightly hazed over burnt orange color with remnants of transparency closer to the edges of the glass with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet and floral lavender meshes with the tart wheat, salt and lemony tones of the gose base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas sweet, sour, tart and a touch of savory, finishes with the salt, tart and lavender sweetness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness rolls across the tongue nicely with a touch of tart abrasiveness, nice expected kick of the wheat but also a bit more subtle than other goses
Overall: love how the creativity of the brewers looked at the style and want to add just a little something extra that seemed like it would blend fantastically and that's what Bent Hill did. This was the beer that told me Bent Hill took a 180 and started brewing differently and extremely way better than what they formerly did.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a finger and a quarter of foamy white head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: strong citrusy hop tones, semi-sweet tropical hoppy tones, light sweet grassy hops with a touch of hop spice, mild clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet combining those prior noted aromas; clean finish of citrusy/tropical/grassy hops
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, clean smooth tones across my tongue
Overall: a highly pleasurable NEIPA more than worthy of coming back to.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: one and a half finger-ed white foamy head slowly dissipates to leave very little lace, clear to yellow tinged body
Aroma: sweet clean rice, moderate lager-y notes
Flavor: crisp clean rice in a semi-sweet way
Texture: light bodied, smooth with a slow clean finish
Overall: IMO, a nicely done Japanese rice lager worthy of having again preferably with some sushi.

Can, undated, from the shelf, drunk 7/15/24. Almost spurts upon opening, despite a long, cool rest. Doesn't smell infected, so it must have been underattenuated and refermenting on the shelf. Massive head, white. Clear, beeswax yellow-brass body. Smells like a Kolsch, at least. Definite identifiable Kolsch yeast, though with heavy honey and angel food cake alongside it. Clean. Not too sweet, as it's heavily refermented in the can. There's a very strong phenolic character and an almost wine-like flavor, as well. The sugars certainly are all gone. Kolsch yeast comes through. But yeah, rough around the edges, to say the least.

Draft at Vermont Tap House in Rutland in a shaker pint by a bartender who might be trying to kill me. Or maybe he just doesn't like foreigners. Or fat old people. Hazy to cloudy reddish orange color. Taste is lightly tart mixed citrus and stonefruit. Sourness is soft and well balanced.
