Can to stange.
Appearance: semi-cloudy pale yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean sweet grains, a little bit of floral/freshly cut grass hop notes and a touch of soap
Flavor: seems to stick to the sweet grains and those hop notes in a sweet to light bitter sort of way; finishes leaning into the hops
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a note of some hops brushing the tongue ever so lightly
Overall: get that "soapy" part out of the aroma and try to get the malts smelling more bready and tasting semi-bready and I think this beer will be on it's way to being much better.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a half a finger's worth of tan foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some chocolate notes with some orange juice, light roasty to chicory-like whiffs, subtle coffee further down in
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to semi-orange juicy toned sweet and/or zest-ish sort of quality with some chocolate and a little bit of coffee; finishes orangey and chocolatey
Texture: medium bodied, good as a sipper; some smoothness but also a little bit of zesty pop nipping the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: it works. I believe they did what they were going for with this one.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, orangey mango and mixed citrusy hops up front with a nice clean faint malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes mango-like with a little bit of orangey tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good smoothness, medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good APA or NEPA depending upon how you look at it.

Can to English pint 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: dark chocolate, earthiness, some coffee roastiness, light caramel/toffee malts, subtle dark fruits and a little bit of sweet wafers
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty quality with a light note of bitterness underneath; finishes semi-dry and roasty
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied, slightly sessionable, light smoothness but a good amount of roastiness laying the law down on the tongue
Overall: the aromas and flavors are there and a good deal of roast on the tongue but this needs a bit "beefing" up on the body.
