Can to mug.
Appearance: deep amber color with a two finger white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: earthy & floral hops; caramel malts, good underlying breadiness following in from under
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine earthiness to malty quality; finishes malty and light earthy toned
Texture: full bodied, sessionable, very smooth along the tongue with an ever so slight touch of dryness
Overall: very nicely Marzen well worthy of coming back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-clear bronzed yellow with a quickly dissipating head, no lace
Aroma: blood orange sweetness and super subtle tartness, subtle sweet grassy tones underneath
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty nice; brisk aftertaste of blood oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper; semi-smooth along tongue; finishes crisp with the blood oranges
Overall: nicely done blood orange ale even if Common Roots should have had as a regular "fruit beer," no harm no foul, I'd still have this again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glazed dark puple in color with a two finger off white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some nice lace
Aroma: strawberries - yes, raspberries - yes, boysenberries - yes; mild semi-creamy backbone
Flavor: mixes on up all those prior mentioned fruits to a wonderful sweet to tart blending; subtle aftertaste of those mixed berries
Texture: medium bodied - hmmmm, maybe a touch under, leaning towards the sipping side; semi-creamy along the tongue; finishes with all those mixed berries
Overall: a very nicely done fruited sour more than worthy of returning to.
