Can to lager glass.
Appearance: burnt orange with with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: caramel, bready tones, sly earthy vibes, dark fruits and a touch of grassy hops
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty to earthy quality; finishes malty and dark fruity
Texture: medium bodied, almost sessionable - I think this one is more of a sipper; very smooth along the tongue
Overall: very nicely done Maibock very worthy of returning to.

Can to tall tulip.
Appearance: dark amber color in the glass with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet toasted nuts, dark fruits, dark bread, very big caramel notes, light earthy hops
Flavor: matches the aromas fairly sweet and earthy; finishes earthy, toasty and caramelly
Texture: medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; extremely smooth along the tongue with an ever so slight dry trace to the tongue
Overall: I say a nicely done Doppelbock well worthy of returning to.

Flavor: blends the previously noted aromas to a fine sweet to bitter quality; finishes orangey, slightly passion fruity and clean malts

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: milky copper color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to crisp earthy hops and an ever so slight trace of grassiness; clean crackery malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bitter quality; finishes slightly grassy to floral and earthy with a touch of hop spice
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; clean smoothness along the tongue with a trace of dryness
Overall: pretty good as a lager, but was it a true Czech pilsener? Eh, just seems like all these pilseners any more are just blurring the lines so much. I'd have this again to decipher if this is truly a Czech pilsener.

Aroma: grassy to floral and earthy hops with a clean caramel/toffee maltiness, light herbal tea and light butterscotch in there too
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas together in a fairy sweet malty manner; finishes earthy to herbal and tea-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; clean smoothness with a touch of dryness ever so slightly
Overall: nice English Bitter I would welcome again. Oh and by the way - pass the fish n' chips!

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did some light clingy lace stuck to the glass
Aroma: pineapple, melon and some citrusy hops with a clean biscuity malt base
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty spot on - juicy bittersweet; finishes with the pineapples and melons
Texture: about medium bodied - maybe a pinch under; good as a sipper; fair amount of smoothness over the tongue with an ever so slight dryness nipping at the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA I would bang again!

Growler share with Rick!
Poured into becher glasses to go around.
Appearance: burnt orange almost copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace and left some light lace.
Aroma: stiff earthy to grassy hops with a clean caramel/toffee malt base
Flavor: pretty much mirrors the aromas then follows through on a kind finish of the malts and hops
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; mostly smooth along the tongue
Overall: not a bad APA, it's easy going to say the least and also would go well with it's respected food.
