Reviewed from notes.
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: bronzed orange hazy color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: white grapes, mangoes, papayas and tangerine hoppiness; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together to a juicy bittersweet quality; finishes white grape to mango-like
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, nice low carb, pretty smooth along the tongue, low bitterness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Tavour: pale yellow with white head. Aroma is soapy and floral. Taste is pretty similar. Light dry bitterness, but the soapiness gets to me.

Oak, a bit of fruit, bold and malty. Along the same lines, a lot of coffee, even some spices, and roasted malt. Enjoyable.

Dark brown. Lots of coffee, chocolate and vanilla. Full body. Some burnt sugars, medium roast coffee. Solid.

Lots of tropical fruit, peach, and citrus pith mixed with vanilla sweetness and a complete lack of bitterness. Hopburn rears its ugly head as well. Eh.

Not bad, although it skews sweet, with notes of toasted nuts, caramel, date, and apple against a modest floral bitterness. Pretty good pint.

Very dry, with a cracker malt base underneath layers of grapefruit, orange zest, pith, passionfruit, and pine, with a firm pine-mineral bitterness on the back end laced with a slight earthy dank note. Delicious.

Can from Tavour. Pours very dark brown with a creamy tan head that left rapidly. Aroma is that dark Tmavy thing with some grass/spice notes. Med body. Malty but not sweet. Bitter enough for balance. Flavor is the dark malt with hints of darker fruit and grass/spice. Good flavor.

I wondered if this would be listed as a dunkel. It is, but it also shares quite a bit stylistically with schwarzbier. Not that it matters, just a note. And on that note, wow what a nice thing to find instead of yet another IPA etc. Pours a dark brown, almost dark enough to be opaque unless you hold it at the light where it shows a nice brown color around the edges. Modest head. Aroma was restrained but was mostly a hint of dark chocolate, toasted malt. Flavor similar but also seemed to hint at coffee notes. Light bodied enough to be drinkable, pleasing. Clean profile, balanced finish. A really excellent dark lager. Can from Upsala market, Sanford FL
