Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: bright orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney to mixed citrusy, floral and a light lemon to orangey hop tones; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fair bittersweet to sweet and semi-juicy sort of quality; brisk dry finish of some floral, lemony and piney hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness, light hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: worthy NEIPA I could return to.

Can to tulip. Can dated 01/23/2020 and consumed 02/13/2020.
Appearance: orange cloudiness with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pine, mango, oranges, light grapefruit and a touch of pineapple; nice clean malts underneath
Flavor: seems to mesh the prior noted aromas pretty well in a very nice sweet to bittersweet semi-juicy quality; finishes piney, mango-like with a touch of dryness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be sessionable; some smoothness, low carb and low bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would welcome again.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a three finger eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: semi-sweet coffee with some earthy, roasty and bitter tones to it; dark chocolate, light sweet wafery malts underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to bitter and semi-sweet quality; finishes semi-dry with a touch of bitterness from the coffee and dark chocolate
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; fairly smooth along the tongue; very little assertiveness from anything
Overall: nicely done coffee porter worthy of coming back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: maroon color with a thin cap of a little white foamy head which dissipated into oblivion, no lace
Aroma: sweet and tart cherries up front with a light lactose sweetness underneath
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine tart to sweet quality initially but a light note of sour enters in subtly; finishes cherry forward with a little bit of sweet creaminess
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but light sour to tart character does enter in to punch the tongue just a bit
Overall: I say it's a nice cherry forward tart ale with some light sour-ish qualities about it.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which trailed off at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet to spicy to floral portions of the rye (this is a good thing); dark roasted malts, subtle coffee roast, dark chocolate; earthy to woody scents
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine spicy rye character to a fair roasty to bitter side with subtle sweetness from the dark chocolate; finishes mostly with the spiciness of the rye and the dark chocolate showing more of it's bitter side
Texture: medium bodied, this is most definitely a sipper!; clean smoothness but somewhat light as the rye shows some dryness to nip the tongue as I expected it to.
Overall: a Russian impy stout with all the aspects of the rye in it! Boom! Absolutely love this beer.

Pour is a hazy blonde with a large white head. Aroma is some lemon hops and not much else. Flavor is kind of nothing. Some generic malt I guess but nothing else really shows up. Kind of a boring America blonde ale but for a good cause.
