Appearance: cloudy yellow cardboard color with a bar pour's kind of slim head which dissipated fairly quick and left some concave lace
Aroma: huge bursts of grapefruit, mango and berry hop scents drifting through clean malts
Flavor: tropical fruity hoppiness blending all together bittersweetly in juicy tones; mild aftertaste of grapefruits and berries
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, nice low carb, finishes juicy and berry hoppy
Overall: pretty nicely done IPA leaning close to being a NEIPA but hey, I know I would have this again.

Appearance: dark brown close to black in color; two and a half fingers of khaki foamy head dissipated to leave some mild lace
Aroma: dark roasted malts; sly chocolatey tones (milk and dark); great dose of coffee notes, and a light dose of caramel
Flavor: wraps the prior noted aromas up semi-sweetly and roasty with a mild aftertaste of coffee and dark chocolate

Overall: I'd say a nicely done porter and I believe leans a bit more towards the American style rather than the English one.
