Inky dark brown. Coffee roast jumps out on the nose, rich dark sugars, rich bitter coffee intensity in the finish. Excellent.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: glossy yellow clear color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head that died off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to blueberry to tangerine and piney hoppy scents with a nice clean malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly with a nice little zingy pop from the citrus hop part, finishes fairly clean with the blueberry to piney tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, semi-slick on the tongue with some hop abrasion but nothing bothersome
Overall: I say a nicely done West coast styled IPA I'd bang again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: burnt yet semi-bright yellow color with subtle transparency along the sides and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: lime zestiness with some peachy hop tones, subtle sweet grassy hop spice and a whiff of light lemon then nice clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together zesty sweet underscored with a low key amount of bitterness; mild peachy hoppy to lemon in the finish
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, mobile on the tongue - so not watery and nothing abrasive, nothing sharp, just moves nicely
Overall: to me, this is a nice crisp well brewed and flavorful lager worthy of more pours

Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky orange to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: papayas, pineapples and pine over top of a clean malt base.
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together fairly bittersweet with a slight juicy tone to it. finishes with the papayas and pineapples
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; some hop burn on the tongue but not exactly enough to be entirely distracting.
Overall: clean up that hop burn and this one might be off to the races with the rest of the NEIPA's

Aroma: papaya & grapefruit blend over top of a light lemon hoppiness; clean cracker malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-bittersweet with a semi-zesty and bright underneath; brisk finish of lemon to papaya & grapefruity tones

Overall: good West coast styled IPA I would very much welcome again.
