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.

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.

Overall: lovely DIPA involving the authentic use of blueberries, of course I would love this again.
