Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: glossy burnt orange color with a two finger white foamy head which fell off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: grapefruity to floral to orangey hoppiness; light clean malts - really came out very well
Flavor: bittersweet blend of the prior noted aromas; mild finish of grapefruit
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, nice low carb, smoothness is good, nice low bitterness here
Overall: favorite thing about this beer was the aroma! The texture was second best but still a worthy beer to return to!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: cloudy orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: pine, floral, grapefruity and guava-like hoppy vibes, light clean malts
Flavor: blends all the prior noted aromas together somewhat brightly into a bittersweet tone; finishes piney and grapefruity
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, mobile along the tongue (seems to lack that "crisp" edge I was looking for but a step up from being watery), some bitter assertiveness but nothing overbearing
Overall: sometimes these "session IPA's" can be extremely hard to brew because brewers are trying to pack in so much flavor while maintaining a low ABV, so I get that but at the same time when I call a beer "mobile" in a "session IPA" I hope they understand they're at the cusp of that beer becoming watery and us consumers we don't want that just just bump up that body just a little bit please.

Appearance: turbid orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace

Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a tropical fruity sweetness with a keen finish of the tangerines and oranges

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency about it, two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, lemon and grapefruity hops up front with a biscuity maltiness in the back
Flavor: all the aromas combine to bring about a nice bittersweet quality; finishes somewhat lemony to piney
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe leaning towards medium just a bit, this beer is sessionable, nice smoothness with low hop bitterness
Overall: pretty good APA worthy of coming back to.

Tap taster at Keep NH Brewing. Opaque black with tan head, excellent retention and tons of lacing. Aroma is strong, roasted earthy malt, toffee. Taste follows aroma. Smooth creamy texture, average carbonation & finish as taste. Good for style.

Can pour shared by AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Clear, dark yellow with trace sparkle, thin cap of head quickly fading to a ring and no lacing. Aroma is pale malts, light pilsner. Taste is strong pale malts. Smooth, frothy texture, soft carbonation and dry, crisp finish. Decent strength of flavor but not memorable.

16 oz can. Flavor is light bready malt, minerals, with a soft citrus hint. Easy drinking and clean. Simple and decent craft lager. Very easy to drink.
