Hazy gold with an enormous foamy white head that lingered. Musty with band aid and perfume. Long finish. Medium body. Very overcarbonated.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: sweet coffee up front then subtle roasty tones of coffee coming in for a nice balance; some bready notes and some caramel/toffee malts lightly in there
Flavor: blends in the prior noted aromas fairly sweet with a slight coffee roasty edge to it; mild aftertaste of sweet coffee
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue; finishes with the sweet coffee and a touch of roasty tone to it
Overall: nicely done amber ale with coffee in it. I'd have it again if Whetstone was still around.

Can to mug.
Appearance: dark red/mahogany color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some lace.
Aroma: soft toasted nuts, dark bready tones, sly earthy to grassy hoppiness; and a mild caramel/toffee maltiness rounding it out
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas together fairly toasty and sweet with a semi-sweet to toasty aftertaste of nuts and breadiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, good sessionability; nice smoothness to it; finishes smooth and semi-sweet
Overall: nice enough Oktoberfest styled lager leaning more towards the Marzen side when it comes down to it.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark amber/maroon color with two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: maple sweetness, toasted nuts, light breadiness, subtle toast and a caramel/toffee maltiness
Flavor: mildly blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweet with a subtle toastiness; light aftertaste of maple syrup with toasted nuts
Texture: light to medium bodied with some sessionability; pretty smooth along the tongue; finishes pretty smooth with the maple syrup.
Overall, I say a pretty well executed amber ale with maple in it and I was glad it wasn't cloying (sigh of relief).

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: fairly clear bronzed yellow color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some bready tones with some clove and subtle orangey tones
Flavor: moderately blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweetly with a light aftertaste of bready and clove-like character
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability, some smoothness, and finishes crisp with the orangey hop tones
Overall: odd but I somewhat liked this personally but I wouldn't call this a hefeweizen, either mislabeled by the brewer or not brewed correctly, if it was up to me, maybe more APA, that's my guess.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy burnt yellow to orange color with a thin foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to piney and some light earthy hops; clean caramel/toffee malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a nice enough bittersweet manner; mild aftertaste of bitter citrusy and piney hops
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards the sipping side; some smoothness but also some hop abrasion; finishes semi-crisp with light citrusy to piney hoppiness
Overall: nice enough DIPA, maybe I could come back to.

Can to stange.
Appearance: murky orange to light brown color with a one and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which slid off fairly nice to leave some light lace
Aroma: subtle sweet grains, light floral to grassy hop whiffs, subtle biscuity malts
Flavor: mildly sweet blending the prior noted aromas together; quick aftertaste of grassy hops and sweet grains
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue; finishes crisp and semi-floral hoppy
Overall: I can see it as a Kolsch and maybe I'd have again preferably for me.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated mildly to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted malts, light coffee tones, sweet ash, light notes of dark chocolate
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas - roasty, sweet and toasty; mild roasty to coffee-ish aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, some roasty smoothness along the tongue; finishes semi-sweet and mild roasty tones
Overall: I'd say it works as a porter and I would have again if I could.
