Can to tulip.
Appearance: muddy orange color almost brown, one finger white foamy head which dissipated finely and left some sly lace
Aroma: some grassy to citrusy to tropical fruitiness - well blended
Flavor: comes across extremely bitter all the way down to the last sip, obviously bitter aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, bitter hoppy finish, not very smooth
Overall: the aroma is the best thing about this beer, just needs some tweaking and Dirt Church could perhaps make this a gem, hmmmm...maybe

Can to tulip.
Appearance: murky orange color with a one finger white foamy head slyly dissipating to leave some messy lace
Aroma: somewhat woody to floral to grassy hoppy character, some clean bready/biscuity malts
Flavor: prior mentioned aromas blend bittersweetly with some hop spice trying to make a subtle play underneath, mild woody hoppy aftertaste
Texture: medium bodied, mostly a sipper, clean hoppy finish
Overall: as a NEDIPA it works, it might not be a high end one of it's style and if it was up to me, I'd have this as the flagship beer over "Rejoyce" just my two cents.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: muddy orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some mild lace
Aroma: fruity hoppiness, somewhat muted but an underlying maltiness lies in the balance
Flavor: stiff bittersweet hoppy to malty, trying to blend but seems a bit to and fro and not fully combining, subtle hoppy aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, mostly a sipper, fruity hoppy finish
Overall: okay NEIPA, maybe again once Dirt Church nails down the recipe on this.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a two finger off white foamy head which dissipated very nicely, subtle lace
Aroma: dark malts, roastiness, toastiness, some earthiness
Flavor: semi-sweet, roasty and toasty, clean earthy and roasty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, decent sessionability about it
Overall: I'd say this is a nice take on a porter, perhaps it could be construed as an English porter depending upon who you talk to.

Can pour from trade with AirForceHops--thanks, Chris! Deeply hazy light brown with tons of sparkle, thin head with poor retention and light soapy lacing. Aroma is piney, malty mix. Taste is strong pine, malt, dark fruit/grapeskin. Smooth, soft carbonation, dry finish as taste with lingering bitterness. Strange. Was wondering if this was old as aroma and taste more like a red ale. But look is like red ale, too. What they were going for? Is this the Vic Secret and Mosaic iteration?

16 oz can. Aroma is pine, citrus, and a little bit of whiskey. The whiskey is mild, but here. Flavor is bold with citrus, mild pine (No resin) and roasted malt. Great texture and mouthfeel. Overall, this is excellent.

16 oz can. The flavor starts with citrus then a small amount of bready malts. The bitterness has a soft lingering herb note. Also hints of tropical fruit. Mild juice texture. Nice balance of flavors.

16 oz can. Aroma is mild pale grains with no maple. Flavor is Maris Otter or Crystal malts with a very light note of maple. Maple is more of a suggestion. This is balanced for sure but I was hoping for a touch more maple.

4 oz draft. Traditional flavors. Roast, coffee, maple. Mild bitterness in the finish. Perhaps a tad sharp.

4 oz draft. Aroma and flavor are a mirror. Soft malt, mild honey like notes. Light body, malty finish.
