Appearance: chill haze yellow to orange cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit rind with a light orange rind and some piney hoppiness; clean bready malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair semi-juicy sweet to bittersweet quality also adds in a touch of citrusy zest; finishes somewhat with the grapefruit rind bitterness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop assertiveness - just noticeable (nothing overbearing)
Overall: pretty good DIPA worthy of coming back to.

Appearance: copper/auburn color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light herbal to earthy hops; caramel/toffee malts
Flavor: seemed to do a good job of intertwining the prior noted aromas to a fair and balanced sweet to bitter quality: finishes semi-earthy with the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light smoothness but also some hop assertiveness - nothing overbearing just noticeable
Overall: nice enough amber ale I could return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale yellow cloudiness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissolved nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: peachy to apricot hoppy tones, subtle melon to grapefruity and lemon-like hoppy tones in the secondary; subtle clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet sort of juiciness; finishes the same way
Texture: between light and medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness to it, about medium level of carb (maybe just a wee bit high but I ended up accepting that (to an extent))
Overall: nicely done aromas and flavors - maybe just pull down some of that carb to make this even better.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange cardboard blurriness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, lemony, slightly grapefruity then with a light piney to herbal tone; clean malts underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet and touch of herbal quality; finishes semi-piney and pineapple-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop assertiveness (nothing unbearable - just noticeable)
Overall: pretty good for the most part, I believe I could return to this one.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: somewhat of a dull brassy orange woody cloudiness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to piney hops up front then a super light pineapple to peachy hop scent in the middle; light clean malts
Flavor: seems to mesh the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy to sweet quality; finishes somewhat piney with a slight dryness
Texture: medium bodied - hmmm, maybe a touch under; semi-sessionable; some smoothness to this with an ample hop grip but mostly non-offensive
Overall: not their worst beer and not their best beer, I think I could come back to this but hopefully find a fresher can. Wish there was a canning date on this beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky yellow to orange cloudiness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity to orange-like hoppy notes and some light lemony to piney hop tones in the middle with a nice clean bready malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to piney bitter quality; finishes orangey, piney and slightly lemony
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but with a certain acceptable dryness to the tongue
Overall: definitely one of the better to possibly best beers by Definitive, I would absolutely seek this one again!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off adequately to leave some light lace
Aroma: blueberry sweet and tart whiffs, light sweet cream/lactose with some clean malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sweet creamy blueberry quality; finishes like creamy sweet blueberries
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under; somewhat sessionable; some smoothness with some creaminess
Overall: since I'm a fan of blueberries I wanted to try this but I'm not exactly a fan of milkshake IPA's so I guess this was a toss up of going after but the thing is - this seemed more like a blueberry flavored ale with sweet cream in it, I wonder if the brewer said this is a fruit beer with cream in that the reviewing would be different for this beer? There I go overthinking things again. Move on, Adam, move on.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cardboard orange to brown sort of color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some lemon to guava hoppy notes up front with a light piney hop in the secondary; light clean malts underneath; subtle herbal/tea-like aspect in there too
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-herbal/tea note to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat like drinking hop tea and malts with some lemon with a light dry crisp note to it
Texture: between light and medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; slight smoothness to this; low hop bitterness
Overall: I think I get what they were trying to do here and I'm not entirely sure if it was executed the way they wanted it to be, the finish seems weird but I couldn't quite right figure out if that was entirely off. I think I could come back to this? Yeah, I think I could.

Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine juicy bitter to a bittersweet quality; finishes with the white grapes and citrus peel
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness and nice low hop bitterness
Overall: nicely done APA or NEPA depending upon who you talk to. I'd have this again.

Appearance: still looking pale orange color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrus peel bitterness; light lemony tones, some sweet grassy hop spice then some light clean malts
Flavor: does a decent job of blending the prior noted aromas to a semi-bitter to bittersweet quality with a light hop zest coming in underneath; finishes leaning into the hop bitterness and the hop zest seems to be a little bit fainter here
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but that hop zest seems to dry out the tongue a bit and add a touch of chalkiness
Overall: so it was an alright session IPA, I think some re-working needs to be done with how they used the hop zesty tone to assist in leveling out the dry chalkiness.
