Can to tulip.
Appearance: stiff looking burnt yellow to orange cardboard haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemon, grapefruit, mango, white grapes and subtle herbal hop characters; light peppery/spicy whiffs; light clean malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-juicy sweet to subtle spicy to a slight bittersweet quality; finishes semi-juicy sweet through the mangoes, white grapes and a touch of that peppery tone I noted in the aroma
Texture: medium bodied, between being a sipper and being sessionable; light smoothness but also a light note of dryness hitting the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: man, well, that stinks this is my last Blue Jacket beer to review until further notice, but all of these beers make me wanna check out their brewery eventually.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange to copper hued haziness with a finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: nice blend of mixed citrusy to apricot and peachy and a light dark berry-ish hoppiness with some light biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet semi-juicy to bittersweet quality; finishes mostly with the dark berries and apricot-like hoppiness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness to this but then again, not really any hop assertiveness anywhere either
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would definitely come back to.

Can to tall tulip. Consumed 05/10/2024.
Appearance: dark red to dark brown color with a finger's worth of eggshell white foamy head which settled off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet smoke with woody notes and a subtle dark fruit whiff to it; light toffee and some light nuttiness
Flavor: pretty much combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet smoky quality: finishes woody smoky with a touch of dark fruits and nuts
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; very smooth along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done smoked beer that seemed a bit different than other smoked beers I"ve had.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: thick looking dark red/maroon color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart cherries, sweet and tart raspberries and the sweet side of some strawberries with some lactose and vanilla tones
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine tart and sweet quality; finishes through a great blend of those fruits with their sweetness and a lighter note of their tart sides along with some vanilla and lactose
Texture: light to medium bodied - might be closer to medium; still sessionable; some smoothness but light tart stabs from the various berries - but honestly it's very light on the assertiveness
Overall: this was a pretty nicely done tart fruit pastry ale I believe I could come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: bright yellow color with a nice transparency about it and a finger and a quarter of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave a good dose of messy lace
Aroma: floral to earthy hop notes; clean biscuity/bready maltiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bittersweet crispness; finishes mostly with the floral hops and a touch of bready malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, great sessionability; very smooth along the tongue and nothing from any of the hops acting assertively whatsoever
Overall: this one seems more of a German pilsener to me and I believe I would revisit this.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: bright yellow color with a good transparency about it and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to piney to earthy snappy to slightly spicy hops; nice bready maltiness
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-sweet tone with a light honey now coming in then towards a fine bittersweet and zesty hoppy tone; finishes crisp leading with the malts and a delicate citrusy hop tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of a hop zest that seems to add a little bit of dryness to edge the tongue
Overall: to me it seemed more of Czech pilsner and would be one I would return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dirty yellow cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruit, guava, and dark berry hop notes up front with a nice clean biscuity malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to semi-sweet juicy vibe; finishes mostly with the dark berries and guava and light touch of the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness, nothing offensive, just noticeable
Overall: nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow to orange hazy color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple, nectarine and guava hoppy notes up front with a light clean biscuity malt in the background
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes leaning into the pineapple hoppiness with the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a light chalky dryness punching at the smoothness as it rolls along the tongue
Overall: nice enough NEIPA - maybe I'll come back to it.
