Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with some light bubbles seen rising to fill a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: maple syrup tones, sweet cream/milk sugar, light vanilla beans
Flavor: copies the aromas in a sweet yet balanced way; sweet creamy and subtle mapley finish
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, very smooth and creamy along the tongue
Overall: I see the cream ale style in this and it's nice with that Vermont twist in this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange cloudiness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which disspated nicely and left some light messy lace.
Aroma: peachy to pineapple-y to a brisk white grapey hop oily tone, sweet grassy hop tone, piney-hop bitterness rising with more warmth, light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a gentle bittersweet blend while adding in a lil' bit of passion fruity hop tone here; finishes peachy and piney
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, brisk hop assertiveness but nothing damaging to the tongue, good low carb, and a lil bit of stickiness but nothing cloying
Overall: a nicely done AIPA or NEIPA depending upon who you talk to. I'd bang this again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark burnt orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big citrusy and big piney to huge grapefruity amounts of hops, the malts are super hard to even tell if they are there because of the amounts of hops in this
Flavor: a pure bittersweet conglomeration of all those hops, malts show up here a bit more noticeable but they're clean and more or less just there acting for the balance of it all; mild finish of citrusy & piney hops
Texture: medium bodied, surely this is a sipper; some smoothness but also some noticeable hop bitterness
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I would have again.

Aroma: piney, citrusy & slightly mango-like hoppiness, light clean malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas together to a nice bittersweet juicy quality, finishes citrusy with the clean malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness, mostly restrained hop bitterness
Overall: a very nicely done NEIPA I would very much love to have again.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: very dark brown color with a finger's worth of tan foamy head which dissipated inward to leave some light lace
Aroma: woody sweet/bourbon barrel notes, light char, milk chocolate, dark chocolate, dark fruits, subtle vanilla, and mild sweet earthy scents
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a semi-spicy to sweet and earthy quality, light finish of milk chocolate and woody/barrel notes
Texture: medium to full bodied, this is a sipper! Really good smoothness on the tongue, the spicy woody notes seem to be nondescript
Overall: an extremely well done barrel impy stout more than worthy of coming back to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: dark brown in the pour but closer to black in the glass, three finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace

Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together nice and semi-roasty, toasty and semi-sweet, mild sweet char aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, earthy smooth yet capable of some roasty grind against the tongue, mild finish of dark bready to earthy & toasty character
Overall: I like this dark lager, I'd definitely return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow with some transparency to it. Two and half fingers of white foamy head slid off delicately to leave some light messy lace.
Aroma: sweet corn, sweet grassy hops, super subtle lime/or maybe lemon, subtle hop spice and hay-ish sort of qualities
Flavor: balances between the sweet corn/hay/ever-so-slight breadiness to a slight hop spicy aspect; no aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, sly smoothness - the hop spice is a bit detained here on the tongue, finishes crisp with the sweet corn & lemon meshing
Overall: nicely done - Mexican lager? Sure that's what I guess this is supposed to be.

Growler into a becher glass.
Appearance: dark murky cardboard orange color with a finger and a half's pour of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity fleshiness and skin roaming into some subtle grassy to floral hop notes, seemed more of a caramel/toffee malt base but clean
Flavor: bittersweet with a touch of juiciness but nothing really popping out; mild grapefruity aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability to this; stiffer hop cling touches the tongue, finishes with the grapefruity hop tones
Overall: the brewer might say this is a NEIPA but IMO, I would say this is one of the first efforts when brewers were first starting to get the true NEIPA going to where they are now-a-days.
