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

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-amber to glossy yellow color with a good transparency to it; a two finger white foamy head sat on top then dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
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
Texture: light to medium bodied, sturdy sessionability; fair clean smoothness along the tongue
Overall: good West coast styled IPA I would very much welcome again.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: black in the pour and black in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated to leave some light lace.
Aroma: big vanilla sweet tones, roasty coffee character, toasted nuts, marshmallow, milk chocolate, milk sugar
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a very nicely done sweet and roasty level; finishes roasty and sweet through the coffee and nuts to the vanilla and marshmallow vibes
Texture: medium bodied, fair smoothness along the tongue; leaning towards the sipper side
Overall: a very nicely done imperial pastry stout I would very much welcome again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-transparent bronzed yellow/orangey color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: orangey hoppiness; good dose of piney hops and extra citrusy hoppiness, light clean malts
Flavor: moderately bittersweet blending the prior mentioned aromas together fairly brightly then a mild aftertaste of orange, pine and grapefruit
Texture: light to medium bodied with some light sessionable aspects to it; semi-smooth along my tongue; finishes crisp meshing the piney-ness and the citrusy tones
Overall: I'd say pretty nicely done West coast styled IPA I would have again.

Great looking beer, gold body with thick lasting white head. Sweet hop aroma. Fruity taste sweet and full. Finish starts strong and leaves.

COYP 🔴🔵🦅 new 🇺🇸 brewery ✅ Resinous bitter hoppy with some notes of pine, grass, grapefruit and citrus peel, some medium sweet caramel malty backing, crisp and bitter hoppy finish. Solid west coast action.

The name sounds like an Ingurgitating Oblivion song but here at the brewery they’re playing Motley Crue. Pallid and weak looking. No head. Flabby, underattenuated, waste of time.

Vinegar, woody, like quite tannic, but also vinegar. Some okay malt but this is like a 50/50 blend between red wine vinegar and xiaoxing vinegar.
