Can, can't see a date, was discounted. Fairly hazy orange with a cm of white head. Citrus, mango and leafy green vegetable/ grass clippings aroma. Dryish, lots of tropical fruit, some citrus. Mower juice and wilted greens very much there in the taste too.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow cloudiness with a finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, apricot, freshly cut grass, lemon and papaya hop notes, super light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality, finishes with the fresh cut grass, lemon and apricot hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper, nice smoothness to this but also gets clipped a little bit by a light hop spice
Overall: very nicely done NEDIPA I could return to.

Rich dark malt, coffee and cocoa, maybe nuttiness? Big body, vanilla sugar, little coffee in there, hot chocolate (white people style). Solid overall.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow haziness with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes, orange juice, some lime and papaya notes; light clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas nice and semi-bittersweet with a touch of some citrusy zest riding in underneath; finishes with the mangoes, orange juice and citrusy zest
Texture: medium bodied, between being a sipper and sessionable; pretty smooth to a semi-creamy on the tongue
Overall: I'd say this is a very well done NEDIPA I would love to have again.

Can to mug.
Appearance: amber in color with a sly transparency about it with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: light tones of caramel, then bready malts, subtle toasted nuts and a light earthiness.
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together in a favorably sweet sort of way; mild finish of semi-sweet malts underscored by a light earthy hop
Texture: between light and medium bodied with a nice sessionability about it, even keeled smoothness along the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done Marzen, perhaps a touch lighter than other Marzens but I believe I could still come back to.

Panda thanks to Colin. Hazy gold beer, small bubbly pale cream colour head, doesn't last. Light palate, mildly dry, good fine minerally carbonation. Light bodied pale malts, a forward creamy sweetness but not overdone. Crisp pine. Light juicy floral fruits. Crisp piney grape. A light finish. Light and very drinkable.

It is not often I hope for a NE style Imperial IPA to rescue an evening's tastings. But that is the case now. 16 oz can provided by the responsible people at Half Time. Label on the can says 8.5% Alc/Vol, just passing along. A snifter awaits, I pour. The body is lemon sky in color and the head is a fluffy white cloud of foam offering nice lacing potential. I smell And the drink is creamy mango, citrus, plenty of hops, white bread and malt. The bitterness is a bit of a surprise, one I appreciate. A fair enough beer in a style that I hit the wall on some time ago.
