One pint can that came from Half Time. A snifter is prepared, I pour. The view is an indistinct pale yellow with a copious amount of fully white foam that quickly disperses. I smell something that is lightly tropical, perhaps some citrus, where is this going? The taste has both of those with pineapple and accompanying sweetness, guava, a spot of lemons, white bread, peaches and mangoes. Sweet to a significant degree. A small touch of hops that offsets slightly. Okay enough.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: mellow orange to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some grapefruit to pineapple hop tones; mixed citrusy hop tones in the middle; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat grapefruity to pineapple-y
Texture: medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness; good low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice enough New England styled IPA worth coming back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale yellow to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemon sweetness with some grassy to melon and a touch of grapefruity hops; light biscuity malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair bittersweet blend; finishes semi-juicy through mostly the lemon & melon-like hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; smooth along the tongue - not much distracting the flow
Overall: pretty good New England styled IPA I might want to come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: orange/copper haziness with a finger's worth of white foamy to some big bubbles inside the head which popped a bit inside the foam and eventually slid off.
Aroma: dark berry sweetness with some citrusy hops and a ton of lactose, some sweet wafery malts
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a super sweet quality; finishes milky creamy sweet with an almost unnoticeable berry tone
Texture: almost medium bodied - seemed a touch under; sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue and creamy; no bitterness detected
Overall: a very unbalanced New England styled IPA which leans towards a very sweet creamy character. I don't see myself rerurning to.

Can: Poured a pitch-black color porter with a large brown foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with a nice black chocolate overlay. Taste is also a mix of roasted malt with some black chocolate overlay and a semi-sweet finale. Body is about average with good carbonation. Well brewed porter with nice black chocolate notes.

A hopped up, pumped up pilsner. I like the premise. I have a pint can from an East coast retailer that is going inside of a small bar glass giving a view of a clear gold-yellow body with a stupendous head of white foam that eventually calms down. I smell grain and citrus, not real surprising. The drink stays heavy with grain, malt and a nice little hops finish. Is that a touch of cantaloupe in there? For a basic tasting beer this is a pretty decent brew, good sensation, curious name and a higher abv. All right by me.

Can: Poured a black color lager with a nice large off-white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt with nice clean cereal notes. Taste is also a good mix of roasted malt notes with some clean cereal notes and is lightly bitter finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Solid lager with really good drinkability.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: burnt golden orange color with a thin white foamy head which quickly dissipated to leave barely any lace
Aroma: citrusy and danky hops in front, subtle clean malts further in the back
Flavor: bittersweet combining through all the previously mentioned aromas, mild citrusy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied with more of a sipping sort of quality to the beer, subtle hoppy grip on my tongue
Overall: good as a DIPA, I could return to this.

16 oz can from Kevin, thanks pal, 12/28/25. It pours a murky yellowish color with a fizzy white head. Tart, orange, lemon, juniper, grapefruit, and some floral notes. Drinks tingly, light bodied, but not watery. Pretty solid overall.

16 oz can from Kevin, I think, thanks (assuming this was actually from you), 12/16/25. Mostly clear reddish-brown color with a fizzy tan head that dissipates fairly quickly down to nothing. Sweetened coffee, caramel, toffee, and brown sugar. Drinks sweet, slightly sticky. Light boozy heat on the close. Pretty good overall.
