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)

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellowed cardboard color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: melon to citrusy hops up front flanked by a little bit of tropical hoppy juicy whiffs, light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality; finishes melon-like and citrusy
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable, smooth along the tongue, light hop bitterness asertiveness
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.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow chalky color-ed with a two finger white foamy head that took it's time to fall off then leave some light lace
Aroma: white grapes, subtle danky hop tones, and berry hoppiness, clean malts further underneath
Flavor: nicely balances all the prior noted hop aromas bittersweetly, mild juiciness then clean brisk aftertaste of white grapes and danky hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, mostly a sipper, somewhat smooth along tongue, finishes semi-juicy, subtly danky, and semi-crisp
Overall: an absolutely lovely NEDIPA well worth my time.

Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: transparent copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: biscuity malts, sweet grains, earthy hops, super subtle honey on the back end
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together somewhat sweet with a touch of earthy bitterness trying to balance; sly aftertaste of biscuity to bready tones and sweet grains
Texture: between light and medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, very smooth along tongue, finishes bready/biscuity smooth
Overall: I say a nicely done Maibock worthy of coming back to.
