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.

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.
