Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink/red color with a one and a quarter fingers of pink foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart raspberry scents, light lemon tones, some light sweet wheat
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart quality with a light sour coming up from under for balance; finishes with the tart and sweet notes of the raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness in a semi-creamy sort of way but also an ample amount of tart to sour harshness on the tongue
Overall: not exactly sure the whole difference between this and "Never Never Again Again" other than a higher ABV? Okay, well all you people who think this is the bees' knees sure you can keep drinking this. I'll go back to drinking real goses.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink/red color with a three finger pink foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then leave some light lace
Aroma: thick red raspberry sweet and tart whiffs, light lemon tones, some light sweet wheat
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart quality with a light sour coming up from under for balance; finishes with the tart and sweet notes of the raspberries
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness in a semi-creamy sort of way but also an ample amount of tart to sour harshness on the tongue
Overall: though not a true gose, this isn't bad as a "fruited tart ale." And was there ever any salt in this? Asking for true fans of real goses.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange cardboard colored haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney to mango to papaya and a little bit of lemon with some light clean biscuity/bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes leaning into the piney to mango hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness; nice low carb
Overall: now this is the style of beers I know this brewery knows how to do and ultimately I wish they would mostly stick with these and their stouts.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink to amber sort of cloudy color with a finger's worth of pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: oranges, cherries, some passion fruit and loaded up with a ton of sugar, in the secondary some pineapples and a touch of some mixed berries
Flavor: mixes on up the prior noted aromas to a sweet to tart Hawaiian punch bowl with some salt thrown in; finishes the same
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness - and nothing distracting to the smoothness
Overall: so it's a Hawaiian punch bowl with some salt in it. Got it.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: nice looking burnt orange haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peach, grapefruit, guava and mango hop notes; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes semi-sweet through the mango, peach and guava notes
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some hop bitterness assertiveness - mostly nothing overbearing - just noticeable
Overall: pretty good NE styled IPA I believe I could come back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark murky purple color with a finger and a quarter of pink foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peach sweetness, boysenberry sweetness, mixed berry sweetness; some lactose, then some slight wheat down in there
Flavor: gets somewhat acidic tart and sour up front with some sweet wheat tones intertwining; finishes very berry forward through sweet and tart notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also noted semi-sharp acidity nailing the tongue a bit - light pucker
Overall: it's not bad as a "fruited tart ale" so in that respect, I could come back to this but not a true Berliner weisse.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark amber/hot pink/purple-ish sort of color with a thin cap of a white foamy head which settled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: cherry sweetness, lime sweetness, orange sweetness; some pears and mixed citrusy notes; slight lactose
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-sweet to tart quality initially then seems to allow a subtle sour hint in for a little bit more balance; finishes leading with the cherries, limes and some oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also some stickiness from the extra ripe fruits in this thing
Overall: this was an okay fruit cocktail of a beer.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: light orange haziness with a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy, melon-like, papaya, light mango notes; light biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes sweetly through the melon, papaya and mango notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness; nice low carb; good low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Draft of Scott’s Addition location - dark ruby beer - rough and ready rendition - leans closer to traditional British in character - deeply malty, lots of treacle and caramel - some dark fruit - mild bitterness - finish had a slight medicinal character - was hoping for better.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: bright yellow cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to piney hops up front, some lemony to grapefruity hops in the middle with an underscore of clean malts with a touch of honey
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet quality; finishes citrusy, piney and slightly lemony
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but some West coast like vibes of some bitterness comes in to lay down the law on the tongue - I mean, it's nothing "tongue slaying" - I'm just the hops tell the tongue who's boss
Overall: a nicely done IPA leaning into slightly being a West coast styled one and worthy of me wanting to come back to.
