Canned 2/20/26, drunk 4/2/26.
Fairly roasty with some sticky caramel/toffee behind it and a bit of fruit and vanilla notes, as well. Nice and round, with even the roast playing nicely (no acrid, or big acidic notes). Hard to get a feel for how big the base malt is, and it could be a bit too toasty/roasty, but the aroma is mostly balanced.
Very dry and moderately roasty with some burnt toast character but no harsh acidity/tannin chipping at the palate. Pretty good body for its size, though in today's low abv world, I'd say it's a bit under where it should be. So many brewers doing incredible things with low abv beer nowadays. Still, no slouch here, and it's quite clean, polished, satisfying. Some dark fruits, light vanilla, hint of tobacco, linger.

16 oz can from the brewery, 2/7/26. Pours a fully hazy yellowish-orange color with a white head and strong lace. Aroma is lighter, with orange, melon, grapefruit, and dough. Slightly sweet, minimally dry. Touch thin, but not overly so. Stays clear of getting watery. Soft. Easy drinking. Solid overall.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange haziness, one finger white foamy head that slid off nicely to leave some light lace.
Aroma: peachy to pineapple-y hop tones punch at some piney/resiny hops, clean malts underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together bittersweetly with some juiciness; sly peachy hoppy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability about it, nice low carb, fairly smooth along tongue, finishes peachy & pineapple-y hoppy toned
Overall: I'd say a nicely done NEIPA, it's too bad I can't get more of this more often.

Draft at the brewery, 1/11/26. Fully hazy yellowish color with a white head and drippy, streaky lacework. Bright, grapefruit, melon, and mango. Full flavored. Lots of juicy hop flavor. Smooth. ABV is fairly hidden. Abe Lincoln would be proud. Really good.

Hazy pale yellow with large white head. Lemon, milk, biscuit malt, and grass aroma. Mildly sweet lemon, creamy biscuit malt, and mildly bitter grass flavor. Nice body. Solid.
