Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: a glossy amber color with a two finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light messy lace
Aroma: peaches, light herbal to tea-like qualities; subtle floral hop vibes; light earthiness; clean wheaty-like malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a semi-sweet to herbal quality; mild finish of the peachy to herbal and floral character
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: I like this wheat ale and could see myself coming back to preferably in the Summer.

Bottle to lager glass.
Appearance: murky/glossy burnt yellow color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which slipped off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to tart berry character, light corn sweetness; some grassy clean hops and a light, maybe biscuity malt base
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a kind sweet tone and adds in a light honey sweetness; finishes berry to corn sweet to the grassy hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but not too much, some hops seem to scrape my tongue just a wee little bit.
Overall: an interesting lager to say the least, almost gave me that "India pale lager" vibe to be honest, but well, I do believe I could return to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden yellow color with a finger and a quarter's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet cream and strawberry sweet and tart character; subtle yeastiness, slight grassy hops underneath
Flavor: mildly sweet and tart with some sour tones rising up; mild finish of the strawberries and creamy notes
Texture: between light and medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; semi-smooth along the tongue
Overall: the creamy tones helped tame the sour and tart character which possibly could have let this beer be a bold sour ale. I liked this one for me and would have again.
