Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: bright yellow haziness with a three finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate and once it did, just a little bit of lace appeared
Aroma: mixed citrusy to passion fruity to melons and grape hop notes up front with a slight biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: copies the aromas pretty spot on to a nice medium sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes mixed citrusy and passion fruity
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; light smoothness and a little bit of dry tones
Overall: I say a nicely done AIPA or NEIPA depending upon who you talk to that I would be willing to have again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: soft orange to yellow haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which trailed off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: white pepper, lemon zest, and floral hop tones, light straw and a little bit of vinous notes; light bready malt down in the backbone
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet & semi-spicy fresh vibe; finishes semi-spicy, slightly lemon zesty and a little bit of malts
Texture: light to medium bodied; slightly sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of the spice and zest nicking the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done saison well worth coming back to.

Can to tulip. Consumed on 07/28/2024.
Appearance: soft hazy orange to amber to purple color with a quickly dieing finger's worth of white foamy head that barely left any lace
Aroma: grapefruit, lime, raspberry and dragon fruit tones with some freshly cut grass and a pinch of lemon sweetness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet fruity tone rolling into a fairly nice bittersweet hoppy undertone; finishes leaning into the raspberries, limes and grapefruit notes
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper as some of the sour character seems to penetrate as I somewhat expected it to, some puckering but not overdone
Overall: yeah, I think I can see this as a "sour IPA" but mostly in the texture and I believe I could have this again.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: soft golden yellow color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: soft floral hop tones with a slight freshly cut grass spice; light straw notes; then a light cracker malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine cracker maltiness with a touch of earthiness; finishes floral, grassy spicy and a nice crackery maltiness with a little bit of dryness
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; good amount of smoothness with some expected dryness running along the tongue
Overall: nicely done as one of those New Zealand pilseners and I'd return to this in that respect.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: golden yellow in color with a slight transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to sweet grassy hops, subtle hop spice - semi-grassy and a light clean bready/biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to hop spicy tone with a sweet biscuity/bready malt tone; finishes mostly with the floral hops and malt backbone with a touch of dryness
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness with a nice dry edge I thought felt pretty nicely done
Overall: though I can't truly tell if this is a German or a Czech pils, I guess it's one of those "modernized" ones, this is still well brewed enough to warrant more pours.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange to murky brown color with a three white foamy head which slowly dissipated and left just a little bit of lace
Aroma: orange rind and pulp with a little bit of grapefruit and a touch of vanilla
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes like orange juice
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: pretty good NEPA, I might be able to come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: smooth sweet freshly cut grass with mixed citrusy hops, light mango and subtle orange rind hoppiness; clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine medium sweet to bittersweet sort of quality: finishes leaning into the mixed citrusy hops and a lighter orange rind bitterness
Texture: medium bodied, this is a sipper; some smoothness with a little bit of a low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: very worthy of coming back to.
