Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper to orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: oranges, lemons, white grapes, pine and peaches; light clean crackery malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality; finishes juicy through the oranges, pine and white grapes
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; good smoothness with some light hop bitter assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I'd have again.

Growler from River Roost.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: pale yellowy orange color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: melon, peach, tangerine and some clementine-like hoppiness, light clean biscuity/sweet wafery malts
Flavor: copies the aromas nicely to a fine bittersweet juiciness; finishes juicy through the clementine/peachy to melon notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, clean smoothness along the tongue
Overall: lovely drop by River Roost well worthy of returning to.

Growler to tulip and a becher glass.
Really no changes between the two pieces of glassware.
Appearance: same burnt orangey haziness in both glasses with the same two finger white foamy head in both glassss, dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, pineapple, subtle clementine and light pine scents with sweet wafery malts in both glasses
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy vibe; finishes juicy smooth and bittersweet in both glasses
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, and smooth with no hop burn and very little hop bitterness in both glassss
Overall: a very nicely done AIPA or NEIPA (whatever one wants to call this style in this day and age)

Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality; finishes melon-like and citrusy

Overall: nicely done AIPA or NEIPA, whatever this is supposed to be and one I would return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow in color with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: nice earthy to grassy & floral spicy hops with a super light bready maltiness underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine spicy to sweet maltiness; finishes clean and earthy/grassy/floral hoppy toned
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue, light earthy hops brush the tongue just a wee bit
Overall: I say a nicely done Czech pilsener worthy of coming back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown color with a swiftly dieing head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: the normal brown ale notes of nuts, caramel/toffee character, some earthy vibes and light chocolate then some light smoke
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a sweet smoky tone with a fairly long finish of the smoke, nuts and caramel features
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, very smooth along the tongue and nothing really seems to get in it's way.
Overall: a very nicely done big brown ale I know I would love to have again.
