Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy orange color with a one finger white foamy head that took it's time to fall off, not much lace after that
Aroma: some mangoes, lemon to citrusy tones, sour to juicy tones; light citrus pith, light grassy hops
Flavor: combines all the prior mentioned aromas to blend sour to tart to juicy sweet then follows through on a mild aftertaste of clean juicy tart lemons and mangoes
Texture: light bodied, fairly sessionable; mild juicy smoothness; finishes with brisk juicy tartness
Overall: I like this as a sour ale but don't see this as a gose unless the brewer killed the salty tones and tart wheat kick by adding in excessive fruits. I think I could come back to this preferably for me.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: ruddy orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which slid off nicely to leave some messy lace
Aroma: some tropical fruit, berries, and some piney hops all blend together very nicely and add in a little bit of clean bready/crackery malts
Flavor: mildly sweet to semi-bittersweet through the prior mentioned aromas; clean aftertaste of the berries & piney hops and a touch of malts
Texture: medium bodied; some sessionability about it; semi-smooth; finishes with faint tones of berries, piney tones and some tropical fruit sweet smoothness
Overall: pretty nicely done IPA I believe I would come back to.

Can to dimpled mug.
Appearance: nice looking amber color with a two finger white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace, not much lace
Aroma: clean biscuity to bready malts try to balance with some earthy to woody and leafy tones; super light grassy to floral hoppiness underneath
Flavor: moderately malty with an underscore of spicy woody character; light aftertaste of malts, wood and grass
Texture: between light and medium bodied; sessionable; fairly smooth along my tongue but also pretty dry; finishes clean with a brisk maltiness
Overall: interesting amber lager to say the least, would I have this again? Possibly, but I bet I'm going to want to have some water after this one, I'd say it's pretty dry all around.

Can from Beer Republic. Hazy ochre, stable, foamy, white head. Aroma of mandarin peel, grapefruit, green pepper, shallot, peach, hashish. Taste has sweet mandarin & pineapple, turning towards bitter shallot, pepper & pine in a honeyish malt body. Dry, bitter finish of floral & peppery hops, citrus peel & dank shallot. Medium body, slick texture, average carbonation. Bit too spicy for the style, but pleasant enough.
