I had 2 NEIPAs in my taster flight, and this had the darker brassy body. Catbox smell from the hop blend, then some orange zest is detected. Taste comes in sharp instead of fruity. Hops dominate the whole way through, and that big hop taste stays through the end.

Draft at brewery. Dirty orange pour and minimal head. Nose is yams and some spice. Nice level of traditional pumpkin spicing cinnamon cloves and nutmeg, along with good pumpkin pie flavor. A good example.

Brewery draught, 1/28/23. Clear, very pale golden. Small, white head. Stiff, almost sharp initially, hop notes with floral and grain character. Clean but with a touch of sharp floral, bordering soap from the hops. Very, very lean body exposing a touch of graininess. I appreciate and can see they were going for a bone dry pils, but the hop bitterness is too high for that and it still needs more malt depth regardless.

Brewery draught, 1/28/23. Dark, clear. Small, off-white head with low retention. Huge hazelnut-licorice-chocolate notes in the nose with low base malt character. Clean, lots of coffee notes. Fruity, soft, malty but with assertive roast bitterness. Nutty, chocolate, licorice-forward. Very assertive and flavorful. Maybe a bit roastier than I care for, but respectable.

Nitro draught at the brewery, 1/28/23. Looks like an Irish Dry Stout. Smells richer/maltier than the standard. Fresh mineral, lower ash/black malt character. Clean. Soft, simple, maltier than Guinn. More vanilla and honey-like base malt character, lower roast but still dry and balanced. Very drinkable.

Brewery draught, 1/28/23. Clear amber-dark-chestnut. Small, dark beige head, low-to-moderate retention. Big toast, fruit and caramel nose with strong red fruit but also a bit of glue, though by the middle of the glass it's not noticeable. Soft, malty, rich but drying out with heavy bread/toast on the end. Red fruitiness along the way with assertive bitterness for the style.
