Formerly called Hyder Vice which I had a can of that once but also had a can of the Neon Fusion and was told Neon Fusion is just the new name.
This can was poured into a becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange color with a subtle cloudiness to it and a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart blackberries, sweet and tart raspberries; slight acidic/sour/funky accent underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet quality initially then a slight sour hint comes in underneath; finishes with a brush of tart raspberry to blackberry character
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light on the smoothness factor as there's a little bit of sour to tart harshness but nothing overbearing, good carb level
Overall: pretty nicely done fruited sour ale worthy of coming back to absolutely in the Summer!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy semi-dark yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet herbal/floral tone with a light mixed citrusy/lime-like note; some malts intertwining nicely with a touch of sweet corn to them
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine variety of different sweet aspects; finishes semi-sweet and slightly citrusy
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; pretty good smoothness with barely anything distracting; good carb level
Overall: some people drink coronas all Summer long - me - nope, I drink this practically as much as I can find it in the Summers. Thanks Ten Bends for brewing this one.

Can to lager glass
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to subtle floral and a super light grassy hoppy tone with a light clean biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to slightly bitter toned quality; finishes semi-grassy to mixed citrusy with an ever so slight snap to it
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; good smoothness on the tongue with nothing bothersome anywhere; good carb level
Overall: so this is one of those New Zealand pilseners? Okay, well then not bad and I could see myself coming back to this.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: hazy burnt orange color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemony to grapefruity to subtle mixed citrusy zesty hoppy toned, light notes of clean malts
Flavor: substantial lemony to grapefruity bittersweet hoppy to slightly zesty combination; finishes leaning into the lemony and grapefruity zesty tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability, some smoothness along the tongue, good low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEPA worth coming back to.

Can to snifter. Purchased in late 12/2021 to early 01/2022 and consumed on 02/27/2022.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a quarter finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: fresh "barrel" - sweet and spicy tones (sweet woody oaky like note rolling into some vanilla but also seems extremely faint); slight whiskey sweetness; clean sweet earthy whiffs
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-spicy to light sweet vibe with an even lighter roasty note underneath; finishes about the same way
Texture: medium to full bodied; great sipper; light smooth notes but also some barrel heat (wasn't too harsh as I've had many other beers way worse); good carb
Overall: part of me thinks I should have waited longer on consuming this beer but it still made for a fine Winter's evening sipper.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and earthy coffee notes up front with a keen dark chocoaltey tone underneath then some light milk chocolatey notes with a light sweet wafery malt backbone
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty and slightly bitter quality; finishes very cold brew coffee-like and smooth
Texture: light to medium bodied - closer to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth all along the tongue with nothing bothersome to the flow; good carb level
Overall: if you like cold brew coffee porters, I recommend this one.
