Can to tulip.
Appearance: hazy light golden orange color with a two finger white foamy head, dissipated to leave mild lace
Aroma: citrusy and juicy tropical hops, mild maltiness
Flavor: mostly sweet but some bitterness trying to help balance it, mild juicy tropical hoppy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, between sessionable and being a sipper, smooth juicy finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done NEIPA worthy of more pours

Can to English pub glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger off white foamy head, subtle sliding lace
Aroma: deep rich chocolate malts, coffee bean smoothness, subtle vanilla and dark toast
Flavor: deep rich sweet tones of prior noted aromas, bitterness far down in there
Texture: medium bodied with a lot of smooth and semi-creamy tones, finishes clean with the dark toast and chocolate malts
Overall: I'd say a very nicely done Baltic porter more than worthy beer to have again.

Had a four pack and was poured twice in a tulip, once in an English pub glass and once in a becher pint glass. The majority of this review is based on the take in the becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a three finger off white foamy head with some bubbles in it, subtle lace
Aroma: orange peel, lemon zest, piney/resinous character to blend then some roasty and toasty tones with super subtle coffee further underneath
Flavor: starts with the citrusy/orangey tones and quickly brings in the piney/resinous tones, coffee tones stay somewhat roasty and bitter further underneath
Texture: light to medium bodied, good grip along my tongue through some bitterness and toasted malts
Overall: the beer world needs more black IPA's and this one is a very nice black IPA more than worthy of returning to.

16 oz can. Aroma of mild citrus and moderate earthy pine. Flavor follows with mild tropical fruit, hens, and citrus. The earthy pine continues in the finish with a moderate bitterness level. A classic old school New England IPA.

4 oz draft. Aroma is smoke and ash. Flavor is mostly the same with a decent amount of malt. Not overly smoky but… not really my thing.

4 oz draft. The traditional flavor of soft bread or cracker malt with saws, grassy bitterness. Light in their bitterness realm.

Brewery draught, 7/5/24. Light amber-golden. Creamy, off-white head. Is this a saison? Smells like a BSA. Clovey-pepper, apple, caramel. Hint of alcohol. BSA character. Honey and rich graham cracker. Citrus phenols and no real saison qualities that I can tell, though it's a lovely Belgian ale. Good body, good attenuation.

Brewery side pour, 7/5/24. Clear golden brass. Rich, off-white head, well-retained. Spicy, bright, excellent, high mineral yeast and pale malts adding honey and biscuit, to balance. Soft, malty, clean and spicy with big herbs. Lovely malt character with a rustic, almost cellar-like yeast. Lingering noble hop character is bright and tempting.
