6.1/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 6 Overall 6.5
Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a purplish-amber color with a medium thin and fizzy pinkish-white head. Tart raspberry aroma along with a hint of sweet malt. Light body with a tart dark berry flavor offset somewhat by the malt. The finish is tart and fruity with a raspberry aftertaste. Just an average Fruit beer overall.

6.5/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a clear orange color with a mediumm off-white head that diminishes slowly. Thin sheet of lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops and light malt. Medium body with a moderately hoppy flavor that has floral and citrusy characteristics. Touches of malt as well. The finish is hoppy with a lingering mild bitterness. Not a bad IPA overall, although I am kind of surprised at the 8% ABV per the chalkboard.

On draught at the brewpub. This beer is a glossy black color with a medium thin and creamy light beige head. Sheets of lacing on the glass. Aroma of coffee, malt and some nuts. Medium, smooth body with a roasted coffee character. Malt and dark chocolate flavors are present as well as some hops. The finish is moderately bitter coffee and hops. Overall this is a pretty good Porter that is sigificantly better than the other N.E.T. beers I tried.

5.2/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 5 Flavor 5 Texture 6 Overall 5
Sample at the brewpub. Pours a light amber color with a thin off-white head that does not last long. Top ring of lacing with spots underneath. The aroma is similar to Fruity Pebbles, with a bit of wheat. Light-bodied with a sweet berry flavor and touches of wheat and mild hops. The finish is short and fruity, without much aftertaste. Pretty forgettable overall.

5.8/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 4 Overall 6
Sample at the brewpub. The beer is a lightly hazed amber color with a medium thin and creamy off-white head that dissipates steadily. Patches of lacing. The aroma is lightly malty and fruity. The body is a little thin and smooth, with caramel malt and fruit flavors, as well as some hops in the background. The finish is tart fruit with a lingering sweet malt aftertaste. As N.E.T.’s flagship beer this should be a little better.
