Can to tulip.
Appearance: deep dark amber to red color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated at nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark clean caramel & toffee malts running through some clean citrusy & deep piney hops
Flavor: meshes all the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes malty, piney and citrusy
Texture: medium bodied, close to being sessionable but seems to probably be a sipper; some smoothness but also some hop assertiveness on the tongue
Overall: nicely done old school/kinda like a PNW type of amber/red ale I believe I could come back to.

Poured into a tall tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with some light red hues along the sides with a two and a half fingers of off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed apples sweetness, dark fruits, dark breadiness, subtle earthy hops, some light woody spices
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a malty, fruity sweet to underlying spicy woody/earthy quality; finishes malty dry with earthy to bready tones
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, great smoothness with a sturdy dryness about it
Overall: I say a nicely done Doppelbock I would return to.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: soft pale orange cardboard look with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: earthy/grassy/dry floral hoppiness with a big bready malt backbone with some smooth herbal qualities to it
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter malty quality; finishes eathy/herbal and bready malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some herbally smooth-like tones - somewhat tea-like
Overall: I can tell this is an English pale and I could do it again with some fish n' chips.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: dark copper transparency with a two and a half fingers of fluffy foamy white head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet wheats, wet grains, some honey, pepper and lemon tartness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a slightly sweet to tart to spicy vibe; finishes somewhat tart and peppery
Texture: light bodied, somewhat sessionable, not as smooth as I was hoping for and no wheat kick/bite anywhere, hmmmm...
Overall: seems odd for a Krystalweizen. The color should be lighter than what was shown, no bubblegum/clove and no wheat kick or bite in the feel. I say you're gonna have to go back to the drawing board on this one, Drop In.

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated fairly quick and left barely any lace
Aroma: super light citrusy hops with a smooth bready maltiness
Flavor: copies the aromas in a sweet way; finishes the same way
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue almost to the point of being watery
Overall: it's an easy going beer that might be nice next to my grill.

On tap at Vermont Tap House, Williston, VT.
Appearance: semi-bright to pale yellow color with a bar pour's kind of slim white head which dissipated quick to not leave any lace
Aroma: sweet wheat, key lime pie, and some citrusy zest
Flavor: runs mostly sweet through the prior noted aromas as the citrus zest now seems vanished; finishes like key lime pie
Texture: light to medium bodied, slightly sessionable; light smoothness
Overall: I'm a fan of key lime pie so this was nice to try and I think I could come to it.
