5.6/10 Appearance 6 Aroma 6 Flavor 6 Texture 5 Overall 5
On tap at Farmhouse Tap & Grill, pours black with a small beige head. Aroma has plenty of dry coffee, a touch of maple syrup, and light toasted malt. Flavour is fairly dry, with toasted malt, a hint of maple syrup, and water coffee. Fairly lifeless malt base. Not great.

Can at my girls I believe she grabbed from Crafted. Milky hazy orange and big frothy head. Pretty. Nose is tropical and herbal and some pine sol. Tatses of mandarin orange, lemon, stone fruits, herbs, floral small chemical. Smooth bodied.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-bronzed golden color with a sly transparency about it and a two finger white foamy head which softened quaintly to leave some bubbly lace
Aroma: sweet grains to soft Saaz hop-like accents in a slightly spicy sort of earthy way
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to spicy sweet sort of conglomeration; finishes semi-spicy with a super subtle bready vibe
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also some earthy spicy assertiveness that seems to grip the tongue a bit; good carb for the most part
Overall: a Czech pilsener I would return to. Nice one, 14th Star!

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: finger's worth of white foamy head sat atop of a golden yellow colored body. The head dissipated nice and slow and left some messy lace
Aroma: big sweet maple whiffs; some honey-ed malts with a sly scent of vanilla further down in there
Flavor: leads with the sweet blendings of the maple, malts and vanilla; finishes maple-y sweet with some stickiness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; very smooth along the tongue; sly stickiness but I somewhat expected some of it - luckily nothing cloying; very good carb level
Overall: I'd say this was pretty well done for the most part and I wouldn't mind doing a side-by-side next to Upper Pass's maple cream ale.

On tap at the Newport Ciderhouse Bar and Grill on 06/03/2018.
The rest of this won't be a full review as this is basically the same as "Vermonter Weiss."
Only real differences is the appearance is how a milky pinky color and obviously the aromas and flavor have a big raspberry scent and taste. This might actually be a touch more balanced in the sweet to tart to sour aspects.
I would return to this.

Can to pokal glass.
Appearance: burnt golden color with a quickly fizzing head that didn't leave any lace
Aroma: sour-ed wheat with lemony tart to subtle acidic sweet tones; bready to biscuity tones further down in there
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sour to tart quality underscored by a subtle lemony sweet vibe; finishes lemon acidic tart noted with a crisp wheaty note
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but in a semi-dry sort of way; good carb level
Overall: works for me as a Berliner Weiss, I believe I could come back to this.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: amber/copper color with a slight transparency about it and a quickly dissipating head which didn't leave any lace
Aroma: tart and sweet strawberries - bold and up front with a light lacto/acidic tone intertwining
Flavor: copies the aromas to a fine sweet to sour to tart quality; finishes about the same and adds in a super light touch of salt
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness with mostly nothing really distracting anywhere; good carb level
Overall: works as a nice fruited sour/tart ale with some salt in it and I could come back to this in that respect.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt orange cardboard haziness with a two and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: bitter mixed citrusy hops up front with a danky oniony sweet side of hops; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to an extent but seems to also bring in a subtle crisp freshly cut grassy sweetness here; finishes crisp with a touch of dryness and a little bit of mixed citrusy bitterness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; sessionable; pretty smooth along the tongue with nothing distracting anywhere to the flow; good carb level
Overall: pretty nicely done APA I would return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: cloudy golden orange color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to lemony to grapefruity hoppy tones with a light note of freshly cut grass; light clean grain-like malty notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to slightly bittersweet quality; finishes lemony and grapefruity
Texture: light to medium bodied; pretty sessionable; good smoothness running along the tongue with barely anything distracting - maybe a pinch of some hop bitterness but it's so faint
Overall: a very nicely done session IPA I would definitely come back to.
