Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a three finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet toasted nuts, soft caramel/toffee malts, light floral and earthy hops
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty note; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of earthy grind kinda nicking the tongue - nothing overbearing
Overall: to me, it's a nicely done brown ale worth coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tangerine, lime, light grapefruit notes and a little bit of papaya
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine juicy sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes leaning into the bittersweet tones with a touch of lime and tangerine
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a medium tone of bitterness to this; nice low carb
Overall: as much as I liked the aromas and flavors, I must admit it was a bit more bitter than expected for the style.

Can to chalice.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger and a quarter's worth of khaki foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some light lace formed
Aroma: soft toasted nuttiness, some Belgian chocolate, dark fruits, dark chocolate, light notes of Belgian spices, some vanilla
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet yet rounded spicy almost yeasty vibe; sly finish of the Belgian spices, vanilla and Belgian chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness and a light note of the "Belgian-back-of-the-throat" dry/grabby vibe (wow, that's surprising to me from an American brewer!)
Overall: yes, we do have a Belgian styled stout from an American brewer - well how about that!

Can to nonic glass.
Appearance: pours pitch black and stays pitch black in the glass with a quarter finger's worth of tan foamy head which hung around for a little bit before totally dieing off and barely leaving any lace
Aroma: sweet coffee, roasted coffee, sweet earthy tones, touch of woody and/or bark tones and some wet grains
Flavor: encompasses a blend of the prior noted aromas to a bitter to roasty to sweet quality; finishes coffee forward - slightly sweet & kinda roasty
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I say pretty nicely done coffee porter worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: some mixed citrusy to lemony to stifled piney hops; subtle grassy hop notes slightly under; biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas to a bittersweet toned hop vibe to a semi-sweet and piney bitter noted maltiness; finishes semi-bitter as the piney hops and citrusy hops start to get more bitter
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but a sort of old school-ish bitterness does seem to enter here
Overall: supposed to be a NEIPA says RBW, well, I didn't mind this for me but the "juicer kids" these days rating beers will rate this a lot harder than me, just saying.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: chill haze yellow to cardboard orange color-ed haziness; two fingers of white frothy head which hung around for about a minute or two before dissipating nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to apricot-like and a pinch of passion fruit with a light perfumey scent underneath that; kinda biscuity malty tone underneath
Flavor: meshes those prior mentioned aromas to a sweet to subtle tart to bittersweet quality; finishes citrusy to apricot-like
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop burn - it wasn't too bad but yeah, it was there
Overall: if only the hop burn got cleaned up in this beer, well, RBW, there's always other beers to brew.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bronze/copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet wheat, mixed citrusy tones, dusty floral hop tones, white bread, sly woody spice and a touch of kiwi fruity sweetness
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet toned hoppy vibe to an even keeled wheaty backed sweet to slightly spiced quality; finishes with the kiwi fruity-ness, sweet wheat and a touch of the woody spice
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but a little bit of stabbing dryness - nothing overbearing
Overall: pretty good as a white IPA I think I could come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: sweet grains, light biscuits and a super light floral hop tone at the end
Flavor: pretty much copied the aroma but a lot less hoppy; finishes malty smooth
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; very smooth but not watery
Overall: this is a well brewed lager which is an easy drinker and easy to down next to one's grill or take cans to go fishing.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bronzed amber semi-hazy color with a lasting quarter finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a fairly slow pace and ended up leaving just a little bit of lace
Aroma: red raspberry sweet and tart whiffs, lactic/yogurty/sour backings and a touch of tea biscuits at the end
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sour to tart to sweet quality; finishes raspberry/yogurty sour vibed
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this; light smoothness and a little bit of pucker but it was slightly nice pucker - maybe more of a twang/slightly tart to it
Overall: pretty nicely done kettle sour I would welcome again in warmer weather.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy, pineapple then some piney hop tones; sweet wheaty malts with a little bit of biscuity-ness in there too
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a malty sweet to hoppy bittersweet quality with a touch of orangey-like hoppiness rounding that out; finishes more like a mixed citrusy hop vibe
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness - nothing distracting, nice low carb, medium to low hop bitterness
Overall: mostly tracking here, I would return to this beer if they brewed it again.
