Can to tulip.
Appearance: amber to glossy red color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated into oblivion and barely left any lace
Aroma: blackberry sweet and tart character; subtle lemony tone in the middle with a slight acidic/semi-sour tone underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet to sour quality; finishes tart, sweet and sour through the blackberries
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability with a light smoothness but also a tight little non-offensive pucker
Overall: nice enough blackberry forward sour/tart ale worth coming back to eventually.

Can to mug. Consumed 09/17/2017.
Appearance: copper/auburn color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee sweetness with some kind earthy to herbal hop tones
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to earthy sweet qualities; finishes semi-crisp with a fair earthy slightly dry tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness and really not much distracting that
Overall: I say a pretty good O-fest I could return to.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: cloudy yellow color but it's a semi-faint cloudiness with a four finger white foamy rocky topped head which took it's time to faint then once it did some light lace graced the sides of the glass.
Aroma: sweet wheat, subtle earthy sweet tones, light lemon, then a light tart wheaty character then some clove and vanilla tones then the bubblegum and it seems a lot more restrained than a lot of other efforts by American brewers
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine crisp sweet to lightly tart quality; finishes crisp with a nice sweet wheaty and clove to vanilla intertwining
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness and instead of a full "kick or bite" it's more of a "pop" of the wheat clamping at the tongue; good carb level for the style
Overall: seems a lot better than a lot of other American brewers' efforts on this style but the cloudiness of the yellow color seems a bit too "bright" -ish and I need more of "kick or bite" by the wheat and not a "pop"

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: semi-sweet strawberries & a subtle tartness with some blueberry sweetness & a subtle tartness; sweet wheat underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to mostly a sweet quality; finishes leaning into the sweet but a light pinch of tart from the berries
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light smoothness, good carb level
Overall: not a bad fruited wheat ale that I could come back to as a Summer evening sipper.

Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger and a half's worth of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to roasty blends of earthy coffee varieties with a delicate cocoa powder and/or baker's chocolate to accompany the overall aroma, delicate sweet wafer-like malts
Flavor: very nice blend of the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to slightly earthy roasty quality; finishes with the coffee varieties and delicate malty sweetness
Texture: about medium bodied - maybe a touch under, sessionable, good smoothness - nothing gritty - just good
Overall: lovely coffee porter worthy of coming back to.

Appearance: mostly brown in color with touches of semi-clear red hues along the sides with a two and a half fingers of off white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, caramel/toffee malts, some dark bread, subtle dusty earthy hops
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine malty/bready semi-sweetness; finishes clean through the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, light smoothness but also some semi-gritty earthy hops grinding into the tongue
Overall: mostly a pretty good English brown ale just needs some of that grit cleaned up in the feel to make this a stellar brown ale.
