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.
