Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow hazy color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: white grapes, citrusy sweetness and rind-like bitterness with a touch of melon-like sweetness, mild malt backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a nice bittersweetness; finishes with the melon and white grapes with a little bit of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness, very low key bitterness on the tongue
Overall: pretty nice IPA I would have again.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: transparent golden amber color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: blood orange pulp and rind - sweet and bitter tones with some light citrusy to earthy hops and a light biscuity malt base
Flavor: leans a touch closer to the sweet side but for the most part is bittersweet throughout consumption; finishes fairly clean with the blood oranges
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, moves fairly smooth with a very low bitterness on the tongue
Overall: I believe the blood oranges try to mask the West coast style IPA qualities a little bit but this is still a worthy beer to return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a one finger white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace to leave some messy lace
Aroma: blueberry fleshy and with some tart skin, subtle grassy/floral hops underneath, clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet through the prior noted aromas, tart skin as an afterthought, mild aftertaste of blueberries and malt
Texture: medium bodied, good sipper, smooth along the tongue, smooth finish of blueberries and clean malts
Overall: lovely DIPA involving the authentic use of blueberries, of course I would love this again.

Appearance: two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some spotty messy lace
Aroma: orange juice; pineapple, some mangoes and white grapes meshing together over top of some clean malts
Flavor: mildly sweet initially but ends up becoming bittersweet with more sips; mild aftertaste of white grapes, pineapple and orange juice
Texture: medium bodied with some sessionability about it; fairly hoppy clean along my tongue; finishes somewhat like orange juice and with the pineapples
Overall: pretty nicely done NEIPA. This is not a flavored IPA, all those fruits I mentioned came out of the different hops.
