16oz can. Poured a totally clear yellow color with a medium sized white head. Aroma was pleasantly golden yellow. Pleasant, clean and easy to drink.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky yellow thick haziness with a slim cap of a little white foamy head which slid off delicately to barely leave any lace
Aroma: some mangoes, papayas, and melon-like hoppiness with the milk sugar as expected
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a bittersweet creaminess; finishes like cream coated tropical fruits
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhere between being a sipper and being sessionable, low carb, extremely smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: eh, these "milkshake IPA's" seem to drive me batty at times, however I still find that I continue to try them.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: bronzed copper color with a slim white foamy head which slid off nicely and barely left any lace
Aroma: white chocolate, pumpkin sweetness, cinnamon, nutmeg, sweet coffee, vanilla and some milk chocolate
Flavor: meshes those prior noted aromas together in a sweet way. Finishes pumpkin-y and milk chocolatey
Texture: medium bodied, more sessionable than being a sipper, the spices seem to be barely present here and end up just giving way to a good amount of smoothness
Overall: I thought it was going to be way worse when I had this but though I was thinking "basic white girl beer" well, I was the one who tried it so there's that.

Can to thistle.
Appearance: dark brown in the glass with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: apple cider - tart and sweet tones and donuts in the front with a caramel/toffee base in the background
Flavor: moderately sweet through the prior noted aromas; finishes like apple cider donuts
Texture: medium bodied with being somewhat of a sipper, eh maybe this could be sessionable as well, let's just say somewhere in between. Fairly smooth along the tongue.
Overall: not a bad beer, maybe somewhat gimmicky but also I see a brewery call something like this a Scotch ale and I'm looking for the peaty notes which weren't really there. Probably a one and done for me.

Can to mug.
Appearance: ruddy amber color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some lace.
Aroma: nutty to toasty scents, mellow earthy tones, some caramel/toffee malts, light grassy to floral hops in the background
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a light toned earthy sweet blend; finishes brisk with the malts and grassy hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, fairly smooth along the tongue
Overall: more Marzen in appearance but seems a bit lighter towards a festbier in the other categories, no worries, I return to it every Autumn ever since they started brewing it.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: big milk chocolate, vanilla wafers, cinnamon, coffee sweetness and coffee roastiness then some sweet grains
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a great sweet to roasty then has the same finish
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper, cinnamom doesn't cut into the tongue as I thought it could have.
Overall: pretty nicely done impy stout I would have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown color with a one finger tan foamy head that dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: chocolate cake, cinnamon, sweet cream, some fudge-like tones and a super light dose of chilis
Flavor: leads with a sweet tone combining the prior noted aromas then the cinnamon pretty light then the chili spice seems barely there; finishes like chocolate cake with cinnamon
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, some smoothness but also some grind from the cinnamon, the chili heat is so low here it's barely noticeable
Overall: pretty nicely done impy stout but I must admit I wouldn't have minded if there was more chilis in this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: blueberries, tropical fruity to citrusy hoppy tones with a clean doughy malt base
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet, juicy blend with a light finish of berries, citrus and tropical fruity hops
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards the sipping side, nice low carb, somewhat chewy but also fairly smooth along the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA worthy of returning to.

Aroma: roasty dark malts, light coffee, some maple, toasty nuts, caramel/tofffee tones and a light cake/doughy underneath
Flavor: melds all the prior noted aromas to a sweet to roasty to toasty & malty toned quality with a fine maple to toasty and nutty finish
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability to it, smooth along the tongue with a touch of a dry edge to it
Overall: pretty nicely done maple porter I would return to.
