16oz can poured to a glass, light haze over a burnt amber body, some rocky white head. Nose is fine. This is fine beer. Mint and herbs on the nose, some light citrus zest, grass, light malt. Approachable. Flavors all follow, solid malt base, some dried grass and herbs, light citrus - mostly lime, some mint. Just off dry. Easy to drink.

Sample at the brewery. Murk. Cap of white head. Nose has plenty of green jalapeΓ±o. Hazy IPA is there too. Malt and oat. Perfume. Flavor has a ton of pepper, its tempered by malt and stone fruits. Full bodied. These IPAs are so easy to mess up, but they landed the plane here.

Pint of thick pulp. Really thick. Big cap of thick white head too. Nose has under ripe stone fruits, plenty of oats and wheat, grass, citrus curd. Flavor is very starchy. Caught my attention at first but we settled in. Malt and oat and wheat and honey. Melon and canned peach. Some candied grapefruit. Thicccc. Chalky, starchy finish. You could pass this as a Tree House beer.

Can (~ 3/6/26) from Beverage Warehouse. Hazy yellow (fine particulate mist), nice sparkle, thick (several fingers) head with good retention and splotchy, soapy lacing. Aroma is strong, slightly tart pineapple rind and sharp citrus. Taste follows aroma along with malt and late green apple. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and malty over dank pineapple rind finish with lingering dry bitterness. Hops may suffer a bit due to age (though this was most recent born on date in shop) but a slightly unpleasant tartness and sharpness and overly malty. Appreciative of chance to try brewer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: stifled mixed citrusy hops along with some mixed tropical fruity hops; good clean malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-bitter to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes with that stifled mixed citrusy hop tones and coming across somewhat bitter
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability; light smoothness but some of that rawness maybe a bit chewy note entertaining the tongue in an odd sort of way
Overall: the aromas are somewhat good maybe not as expressive as I would have liked. Don't get me wrong, I feel as if there's something good here - it just needs that extra push to get over the top.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange to copper color with a light transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: light honey malts in front then a light piney to muted grapefruity hop tone then back to the malts but slightly in a semi-sugary sort of way then a touch of perfume
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter quality with a breaking sugary toned backdrop; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; slight smoothness but also a little bit of something raw seems to be nipping the tongue - hmmmm, not exactly sure if it feels as good as it could have been
Overall: what an odd DIPA, definitely leaves me scratching my beard a bit.

Can to stange glass.
Appearance: semi-clear yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: super light sweet floral hops and some biscuity malts
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty spot on in a light sweet sort of way; finishes crisp and malty
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; good carb level
Overall: pretty good Kolsch - perhaps a bit lighter than other Kolsches I've had but I could still come back to this.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some floral to super light mixed citrusy hops; nice cracker malt base
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty to hop bittersweet quality; finishes semi-floral with a light malt level
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue; good carb level
Overall: the next time I have this it'll most likely be straight out of the can while fishing or grilling.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange color with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely and barely left any lace
Aroma: melon to mixed citrusy to pineapple-y hop notes up front with a stiff biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a bitter leaning quality with a light sweetness trying to blend in super mildly; finishes semi-bitter with a dusty pineapple sort of tone to it
Texture: light to medium bodied; some sessionability about this one; some smoothness but also a little bit of some hop assertiveness but nothing over the top
Overall: there's something good here but doesn't seem expressed well enough and I can't quite right put my finger on it but needs a bit of something else to push this to the top.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: cloudy amber color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: some mixed citrusy hops with orange peel but lots of old school malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair bitter to bittersweet character; finishes bitter and malty
Texture: medium bodied, would be sessionable but seems kinda stiff in the quality; light smoothness but for a supposed "NEIPA" this seems more bitter than expected
Overall: Red Barn says it's a "NEIPA" but I don't see it as one.
