Can to tulip.
Appearance: dirty pale to murky wooden orangey cloudiness with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which slowly dissipated then left some coated lace
Aroma: peachy to lemony sweet to bittersweet hoppy tones up front then some super light peachy sweet fleshy character (really super faint)
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to bittersweet to sweet quality; finishes somewhat lemony and peachy but in a hoppy sort of way and a speck of dryness
Texture: medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness - not too much but noticeable
Overall: maybe not an "over-the-top" NEIPA but it seems to do the trick. I think I could return to this.

Can to becher glass. Can dated 04/15/2026.
Appearance: pale yet semi-clear golden color to it with a quarter finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely with some messy lace
Aroma: lime sweet/mixed citrusy scent up front then some sweet corn and a light breadiness
Flavor: mostly just the lime and corn sweetness; finishes lime-like and sweet corn toned
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light; very sessionable and very smooth along the tongue; great carb level
Overall: perhaps a bit more lime than I expected but I must admit it came across quite nicely.

Can dated 05/06/2026.
Can to tulip.
Appearance: chalky yellow haziness with a finger's worth of white frothy head which settled off slowly and left some concave lace
Aroma: sweet pulpy to candy-like tangerine hop notes, in the middle - light lemony hop sweetness; some clean malty tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet malty to hoppy sort of quality with a little bit of a nectarine sweet tast; finishes with a little bit of stickiness and slightly sweet and super light pinch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied; kinda sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue; good low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: not bad for what it is but I was hoping for an Anniversary beer that would have knocked my socks off, still, I believe I could return to this.

Can to becher glass
Appearance is as shown in the picture.
Aroma: sweet floral to hop oily sweet to slightly piney with a super light scent of freshly cut grass with a little bit of lemony hoppiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine dry sweet tone to a fair bittersweet quality; finishes with a little bit of a chalky dryness and lemony to slightly piney bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with acceptable dryness (I guess the Terpennes did that)
Overall: pretty nice NEIPA I think I could come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to amber color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: sweet and tart strawberry tones; tangy to sweet to subtle tart rhubarb character; sly notes of salt
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a nice sweet to tangy tart and sly salty quality; finishes about the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied; somewhat sessionable; some smoothness and a light salty stain to the tongue; good carb level
Overall: nice as a fruited tart ale with salt in it.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange hazy color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orangey to lemony with hop spicy to peppery notes with a sly danky/oniony sweetness strolling in then a light clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet danky to bittersweet quality; finishes orangey, lemony and danky
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; good smoothness with just a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness but it's pretty non-offensive, nice low carb level
Overall: nicely done NETIPA I would definitely come back to.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: milk chocolate, strawberry sweetness then some sweet coffee underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet combination; finishes strawberry & chocolatey
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness - nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: not bad, only thing is I didn't get any tartness from the strawberries which made me question if it was artificial or not. Hmmm, I don't know.
