Can to snifter.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow to almost orange with a one and a half fingers of white foamy head but also with some larger bubbles in it (here and there, not too much), then that dissipated to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes; peaches; and some light lemony to sweet grassy hop tones; subtle malts down below
Flavor: seems to balance slightly between the sour, the tart, the sweet and the bitter aspects of the prior noted aromas; then a slight aftertaste of mangoes and peaches
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; mild smoothness on the tongue but also a touch of tart abrasion; finishes crisp and mellowing balancing the hops to the mangoes and peaches
Overall: nicely done fruited sour ale I would return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: rustic orange to brown color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pumpkin sweetness; pie crust - sweet to vanilla-y; with nutmeg and cinnamon down under
Flavor: balances the prior noted aromas together sweet and spicy; no aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; smooth along the tongue; finishes semi-crisp running through the balance between the pumpkin and the spices
Overall: this brewer got this one correct! What a great balance of it all. Of course I would return to this one.

Reviewed from notes, well not really because this is more or less just the bigger version of Cloud Candy. I've been able to have four cans of this over the course of having it and to be honest, the bigger ABV just provides a bigger body; to me the aromas and the flavors are basically the same as Cloudy Candy. In turn, yes, I would have this again too.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off delicately to leave some light lace
Aroma: papayas, mangoes and some other tropical fruity hop tones which match up nicely with a clean malt base
Flavor: bittersweet combining the prior noted aromas; barely any aftertaste but seemed somewhat like mangoes and the malts
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability to it; some sweetness clinging to the tongue but nothing distracting (or any real cloying factors); finishes semi-sweet through the tropical fruity hop tones
Overall: pretty good NEIPA I believe I could come back to.

From Beer Drop, canned August 13th 2025.
It pours a clear amber with a finger of foam, retention and lacing are fine.
Smell is bread caramel, toasted malt, some grain, a hint of bitterness.
The taste is caramel bread, toast, only mildly sweet, some light bitterness mid palate, finishes bready.
Medium bodied, this is very much Marzen style Oktoberfest. I would drink this again.
