Can to mug.
Appearance: hazy burnt woody orange to copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: floral to citrusy hop notes with a clean sweet bready malt backbone, the dry hopping did help the citrusy floral hops burst a bit more than expected
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes crisp and floral to bready malty toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue; great dry hopping tones as yes this beer is semi-dry
Overall: lovely Helles lager I would definitely come back to.

Can to stange.
Appearance: pale dark yellow to orange color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated nicely to barely leave any lace
Aroma: lemon sweet and tart, Brett sour tones, sour wheat and a light berry sort of tart underneath
Flavor: tart, sweet and sour running through the prior noted aromas; finishes lemon to tart and sour tones
Texture: light bodied, sessionable, no real smoothness anywhere, this beer will scrape your tongue clean as the sour just puckers you all up!
Overall: pretty good Berliner weisse but be ready she might have a light ABV but her sour-ness is nothing to take for granted.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lotsa lemon, sweet and bitter, pulpy and rind-like, touch of tart, with a clean absorbant citrusy/pithy character
Flavor: sweet and bitter through the prior noted aromas; finishes lemony and rind-like, somewhat bitter
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; light smoothness which wanted to be pillowy but really wasn't as some bitterness aggression was noted
Overall: this is Paradox's experiment in trying to brew a true NEIPA. I didn't mind this beer for me.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, citrusy and floral hops with an old school caramel/toffee malt backbone

Overall: nicely done AIPA I could come back to.

Can to mug.
Appearance: amber to maroon color with a one finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: caramel/toffee character, bready, slight nuttiness and some earthiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together pretty nice and smooth with a sliding finish of nuttiness and caramel/toffee malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, good crisp smoothness
Overall: nicely done O-fest leaning probably more Marzen than festbier and I'm okay with that as I would return to this beer.

Can to mug.
Appearance: golden yellow color, subtle transparency, two finger white foamy head fell off and left light lace.
Aroma: light earthy/floral hops with some caramel-ish toned malts
Flavor: all the prior noted aromas are arranged semi-sweet with a super light bitter component underneath; finishes briskly with the malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, nice smoothness along the tongue with a touch of dryness
Overall: as far as I know it's a good Helles lager and one I would return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky to golden copper yellow color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: muted tropical fruity hops, some biscuity malts
Flavor: bitter initially then tries to open up into some bittersweet juiciness but seems to fall short. Mild aftertaste of muted tropical fruity hops
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, somewhat has some stiff bitterness - becoming astringent with more sips.
Overall: I'm not impressed, try again, Paradox.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: copper color with some transparency about it and a swiftly dissipating head, no lace.
Aroma: slight Belgian malts, lemony, mineral water, light grapefruits, grassines
Flavor: blends the prior mentioned aromas to a semi-sweet to crisp twang, subtle aftertaste of grapefruit and Belgian malts
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable, light smoothness on tongue, finishes with grapefruit and Belgian malts
Overall: not bad for a Belgian pale, maybe again? It is somewhat odd, I must say.
