Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale dark yellow to copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: juniper/piney scent, herbal to grassy hop character, some orange peel
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet herbal to sweet citrusy and a light bitter quality; finishes semi-dry with a light piney tone
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness and a touch of piney bitterness which seems to brush the tongue lightly
Overall: pretty good IPA I think I could come back to.

Pours deep mahogany into a tulip. Tan head with excellent retention recedes leaving trailing sheets. Tart pit fruit and oak aromas. Tart with dark cherry, oak and red grape front to back. Lasting tart lemon citrus finish. Nice.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: woody orange color with a quickly dissipating white foamy head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: blackberry tart and sweet, light oak barrel sweetness, tart floral/semi-sour character, Grains of Paradise add a little bit of a peppery note
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart to slightly spicy and sour quality; finishes somewhat like a jolly rancher (is there blackberry flavored jolly ranchers? To be honest, I truly don't know)
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; I dig the smoothness as it's quaint and the sour-ness is tame
Overall: big wow from me! This would be a great beer to have on a back deck in early Spring. Man, what a nice beer!

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: big milk chocolate notes; some dark chocolate, animal cracker-like sweetness; mixed dark fruits; subtle coffee sweetness and some roasted malts
Flavor: blends the previously mentioned aromas to a fine sweet to roasty and semi-bitter sort of quality; finishes dark fruity with milk chocolate and light coffee sweetness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; a very nicely done smoothness rolling over the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done Baltic porter I would very much love to have again.

Can to mug.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: doughy/biscuity/bready malts with some citrusy hop spice? Yes, I believe that's a citrusy hop spice
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together sweetly and adds in some light dark fruity tone; finishes bready and with the citrusy hop spice
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; clearly smooth along the tongue
Overall: nicely done Helles lager as far as I know but I kinda want to know what the "dark fruit" was I thought I detected in the flavor; just goes to show I need to come back to this beer.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: clear yellow in color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: clean biscuity/bready malts with floral and grassy hops
Flavor: blends the previously noted aromas to a fine sweet to hoppy sweet quality; finishes malty to semi-floral sweet
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue
Overall: a nicely done lager I would have again, and I believe leans towards the German side, I think...yes, a German one.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the glass with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light notes of dark chocolate; sweet oats, some baker's chocolate, coffee sweetness; light smoke
Flavor: meshes the previously mentioned aromas to a fine sweet to roasty to bitter quality; finishes semi-sweet with some bitter and roasty edges
Texture: medium bodied - maybe a touch under, sessionable and very smooth along the tongue
Overall: a very nicely done oatmeal stout well worthy of coming back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark copper close to brown color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: honey, biscuits, herbal tea, earthy sweetness; woody sweetness; floral, clean caramel/toffee malts, some dried grassy scents
Flavor: meshes the previously noted aromas to a fine sweet malty biscuity quality; finishes somewhat herbal tea-ish, earthy and caramel toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; very smooth along the tongue, and a little bit of dryness
Overall: I say a nicely done English Bitter I would return to and most likely have with some fish n' chips!

Can to mug.
Appearance: copper color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light messy lace
Aroma: toasted nuts, some bready accents; sweet earthy to floral hops and light hay-like to grassy whiffs
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas somewhat sweetly then carries over into the finish in the same sort of way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; clean smoothness along the tongue
Overall: only thing I question with this is: is this a festbier or Marzen? I mean the look seems to have me a bit perplexed but everything else seems to be sort of intertwined. Anyways, well, I'd still have this again.
