Can to tulip.
Appearance: milky yellow to orange hazy color with a finger and a quarter's worth of white foamy head which trickled off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: passion fruit, pineapple, orange juice and some lime hop notes; clean cracker malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet juicy quality; finishes passion fruity to pineapple-y and orange juicy
Texture: medium bodied; leaning towards being a sipper; nice low carb; subtle hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEDIPA I'd return to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: coffee roastiness, cocoa nibs, caramel, white bread and a touch of earthiness; slight berry hoppy notes
Flavor: takes the prior noted aromas and meshes them to a fine sweet to roasty quality with an ever so slight note of dark fruits; finishes coffee-ish, earthy and bready
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness but also some earthy notes gripping to the tongue
Overall: I liked this brown ale and would return to it. I believe it leans more towards an American brown rather than an English one.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: pale orange cloudiness with a thin cap of white foamy head which trickled off and didn't leave any lace
Aroma: light notes of white pepper & coriander, stiff sweet wheat, citrusy tones, light grapefruity scent
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to spicy quality; finishes citrusy to white pepper & coriander toned
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable, some smoothness and a light spicy pop to the tongue
Overall: seems like a scaled down version of a true Belgian witbier. I could have it again for me.
