Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a quarter finger of khaki foamy head which took it's time to trail off and once it did there was some light lace
Aroma: black coffee roast, sweet vanilla; milk chocolate, dark chocolate, almonds and fudgy to cake-like character
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes sweet and nutty
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; some smoothness, quaint dryness
Overall: a pastry impy porter with an air of diabetes to it. Got it! I liked it and would welcome again as long as my doctor approves.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy orange color with a light swiftly dieing foamy head which barely left any lace
Aroma: blood oranges sweet and tart character; then the sour aspect but that seems like it's a fruit based sour aspect then some light notes of white grapes
Flavor: gets slightly zing-y through the blend of the prior noted aromas; finishes semi-sour and gets the tartness of the blood oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied, slightly sessionabe? - maybe? hmmmmm....as plenty of sour and tart assertiveness seems to clamp down on the tongue
Overall: well, this is a sour ale, I can tell you that and it's definitely fruited so Evil Twin did what they said they would do with it but how much did I personally like this? Hmmmm...well, it's a "maybe" for me as I can't really give a thumbs up or a thumbs down on this.

Bottle to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange/copper cloudiness with a quickly die-ing head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: some floral, sweet wheat, light Brett/sour, light coriander with some orange sweetness
Flavor: copies the prior mentioned aromas in a semi-sour to funky and subtle sweet sort of way; finishes slightly citrusy with a coriander pop to it
Texture: light bodied, somewhat sessionable; coriander seems to pop again along the tongue to stifle some of the smoothness
Overall: seems a bit lighter than expected for a true Belgian wit but hey, what do I know? I mean Evil Twin is Evil Twin, that's one thing I've learned by drinking their beers.

Bottle to becher glass.
Appearance: orangey/copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated gently to leave some light lace
Aroma: muted tropical to citrusy hops; light bready/biscuity malts
Flavor: copies the aromas to a sweet to bittersweet quality; finishes the same way
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness, but also some hop bitter assertiveness
Overall: I guess those hipsters love this beer. Eh, well, sorry if I don't see the hype.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: semi-cloudy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which died off fairly nice to leave some light lace
Aroma: apricot flesh and sweetness with an ample tart character with a light lemony undertone; sweet wheat with a little bit of tart to it while it kicks at a little bit of extra citrusy tones
Flavor: seems like the Gose strength comes in to overwhelm the apricot tones which to me is what I liked - salty, tart with a slightly sour-wheaty tone; finishes like a Gose with the apricot in the backseat
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but that tart wheaty kick is there which is what I wanted! Nice!
Overall: yup, there's a Gose in this beer, woop woop! I would come back to this one preferably in Summer!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: murky copper to yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: stiff pineapples, melon sweetness, light tangerine and pineapple with a light maltiness
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet sort of quality; finishes somewhat muted through those aromas and a stronger malt presence
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable? - yeah, I believe so. Some smoothness with some sharp hop bitterness
Overall: seems like the aromas and flavors didn't reach their full potential with this one, but alas, part of me thinks I just might need a fresher can.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: orange/copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which died off gently to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet peachy/apricot flesh tone up front with some orange citrusy tone underneath; light biscuity malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fairly sweet arrangement; finishes sweet through the peachy/apricot tones
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a light dryness too along the tongue.
Overall: a fruity flavored IPA with very little hops? Hmmm, that's what it seems to me. Maybe this is more of a "fruit beer," perhaps, hmmm, oh I don't know enough.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: golden copper semi-cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which died off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: actually smells just like lemonade and with a little bit of lemon zest and some bready malts
Flavor: the tart to semi-sour sort of vibe from the lemonade quality; finishes more like lemonade than beer
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also the noted lemonade subtle zippy feature
Overall: is there a beer in here somewhere? I'm trying to figure out what the difference between this beer and the "old fashioned lemonade IPA." Hmmm, in other words, thanks for the gimmick again, Evil Twin and the Brewver tick.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: golden orange/amber color with a two finger white foamy head which died off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapples, coconut and a huge amount of milk sugar/lactose and vanilla sweetness; to me I thought I smelled marshmallows too but eh, I'm not exactly sure
Flavor: the milk sugar/lactose, vanilla and marshmallows seem to be the leader as the coconuts and pineapples seem more of an afterthought; finishes the same way;
Texture: medium bodied, perhaps leaning towards being a sipper; creamy beyond belief smooth as if there was some sort of IPA supposed to be in here somewhere but nowhere found, so yes - no hop bitterness.
Overall: anyone who knows me well and read what I said in aromas probably stopped reading the rest of this because they know how I ultimately feel about "milkshake IPA's" so yes, I don't see myself coming back to this one.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: soft copper to orangey color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which died off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: grapefruity to citrusy and mixed tropical fruity hops with some light clean malts underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a sweet to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes semi-dry with citrusy and tropical fruity hop tones
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but with some dryness as well
Overall: nice enough IPA I would come back to.
