Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peaches - sweet and tart with the lactose and some vanilla
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a creamy sweet quality; finishes like peaches dipped in cream
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable, very smooth along the tongue, low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: not a bad milkshake IPA and that says a lot from me since I'm not usually a fan of this style.

Can to becher glass. Purchased 08/09/2019 and consumed the same day.
Appearance: thick hazy burnt yellow/orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemon zesty, grapefruity, oranges, tangerines and a little bit of mangoes; light notes of biscuity malts
Flavor: wonderfully blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes with the lemon tone but that zestiness seems a bit scaled down here and that grapefruity/orangey and tangerine-like meshed character just seems to be oh so lovely here
Texture: light bodied, so invitingly sessionable; absolutely so smooth without any excessive chalky dryness. Nice low carb, no hop burn, and no hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: probably one of the best session IPA's I've ever had and also one of the best uses of Motueka hops.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark yellow to almost orange color with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, peaches and sweet orangey pulpy hop tones; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together from a sweet semi-juicy fruit hoppiness to a fully bittersweet juicy quality; finishes mango/sweet and orangey character
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue; nice low carb, and low hop bitterness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA very worthy of returning to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orangey hazy color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cranberry tart & sweet whiffs with earthy & piney hops backing that up and a sly malty backbone
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart to bittersweet quality; finishes with the cranberries & piney/earthy hops
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; light smoothness, nice low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done DIPA with cranberries, I'd return to this.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: pale yellow semi-cloudiness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head dissolved nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some floral to grassy hoppiness with a big bready/biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas from a sweet to bittersweet sort of malty way; finishes malty with a kiss of floral hoppiness
Texture: between light and medium bodied, sessionable, pretty smooth along the tongue and nothing that distracts
Overall: nice as a lager that I would return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange semi-cloudy color with a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to piney to subtle tangerine-like hoppy notes; subtle biscuity malts
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a bitter to a medium bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes with a semi-bitter citrusy rind-like to sweet tangerine-like quality
Texture: medium bodied; almost leaning to being sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: okay, well this was a bit of a step back in the series, eh...but I'm not counting Ten Bends out yet. No way, will I do that.

Can to tulip.
Apoearance: thick orange / copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which trickles off at a nice pace
Aroma: gooseberries, passion fruit, lemon pulp, white grapes, clementine hop notes with light clean cracker malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet to tart quality; finishes white grapey, gooseberry-ish and clementine hop toned
Texture: about medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to full bodied, light smoothness but some dryness, touch of tart accent nips the tongue
Overall: mostly a pretty good NEDIPA worthy of coming back to.

Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a bright bittersweet juicy quality; finishes juicy through the citrusy and berry hoppiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; nice low carb, fairly smooth along the tongue and low bitterness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA I wouldn't mind circling back to eventually.
