Description
Foam. It's always been an unconscious calling like drifting into a cumulus cloud bank on a sun-drenched day, or collapsing in a frothy curl of a breaking wave. Foam; it's natural beauty that rises up and is here and gone in a moment in time. I have spent my working life in foam, beer foam that is, brewing beer, conjuring up mixtures of malt and hops to ferment into a crowning moment of beer. Great beer has always sat under foam. Foam. It's not one ingredient that gives stability; it's many interwoven to create a structure of strength pouring out visual excitement. As I sit for a time, I enjoy that moment. All that remains is the lacing that adorns the empty glass and the making of a great memory. Until next time, see you under the Foam...

Bottom of the can stamped 03/09/2026.
Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow-ed orangey cardboard haziness with about a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light sticky lace
Aroma: sticky grapefruity to orangey pulpy hop scents up first then some light lemony bittersweet rind-like hoppiness, slight peachy skin tones but not tart - super slightly sweet I guess, only caught the lime - hop notes after about a good 20 minutes of letting the beer open up more
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas in a slightly candied sweet vibe underscored by a light non-offensive bitterness; finishes with a looming orangey to lemony to peachy candy sweetness and juicy
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper - slightly; some smoothness - good flow - nothing burdensome
Overall: a pretty nicely done NEDIPA very worthy of returning to.
*it's North of the 8.0 but not a 8.1 if that makes any sense to anyone possibly reading this.

Draft at brewery. Orange pour and a soapy head. Nose jams citrus. Tastes of orange, herbs, caramel, candy sugar, wine. Boozy.

Can to stange glass.
Appearance: nice looking glossy yellow color with a little bit of transparency and a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace

Texture: light to medium bodied, great sessionability; good smoothness and nothing distracting; good carb level
Overall: pretty nicely done Kolsch and would be one I would return to and possibly next time right out of the can.

On tap at Foam on 06/16/2018.
Appearance: dark red/orange color with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely but barely left any lace
Aroma: sweet and tart strawberries up front with a lighter note of some vanilla bean
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas together nicely but slightly leans towards the sweet & tartness of the strawberries; and the same in the finish
Texture: light to medium bodied, semi-sessionable; good smoothness and nothing there to excessively stab at the tongue - just a simple smoothness from the vanilla
Overall: now this is how you do a pastry fruited ale, it might be simple but the vanilla isn't excessive and/or overly sweet.
