Time to dance with the hand that brought me! Here's to 10K beer reviews:
Reviewed from notes.
Growler to tulip.
Appearance: thick as pea soup in an orange hazy color with a clean quarter finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: apricot to mango to subtle sweet onion dankiness and some piney hop notes; the malts? yeah, they're barely noticeable
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a refined sweet juiciness and bittersweet quality; finishes very juicy sweet and apricot to mango toned
Texture: medium to full bodied; she is a sipper so treat her well!; wonderful smoothness along the tongue; great carb level
Overall: it might be a "big nothing" to Foam but I'd say this was a "big everything" to me! Thank you Foam for all the years and I hope I got you ahead in your business by sending as many beers around as I did.
Here's to many more years, I hope!

On tap at Foam on 12/29/2017.
Into a tulip.
Appearance: semi-dark orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango sweetness, some papaya sweet notes and a touch of tart then some vanilla and/or lactose sweet creaminess
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet quality; finishes like cream covered mangoes mostly
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting; good low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nice enough for what it was but was this supposed to be a "milkshake IPA?" Hmmm...I don't know enough.

Growler to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace

Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine juicy sweet clean tone onto a refined sweet bittersweet quality; finishes peachy and citrusy hoppy toned
Texture: medium bodied; some sessionability to this; great smoothness with a nice low carb and nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would return to.

Growler to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow color with some stuffier looking cloudiness and a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: lemony to muddled piney sweet hoppy toned; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas in a clean bittersweet sort of way; finishes piney and lemony
Texture: light to medium bodied - probably a touch closer to light bodied; very sessionable; good smoothness; good carb level and medium to low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: probably not one of Foam's better offerings while the aromas are probably the best thing about this, just seems the hop bitterness assertiveness seems higher than I expected but this isn't a junk beer by any means.

On tap at Foam on 05/17/2018.
Appearance: dark pink to slightly purple-ish with a quarter finger of pink foamy head which tapered off at a nice pace and left some super subtle lace
Aroma: blackberry sweet and tart qualities with a light vanilla/lactose accompanying the backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart to sour quality; finishes blackberry sour and sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied; some sessionability; some smoothness and a light touch of some sour acidity just nicking the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: pretty good blackberry sour ale I would return to.

Growler share.
My portion was poured into a tulip.
Appearance: thick cloudy yellowed cardboard color with a half a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice place and left some light lace
Aroma: orangey to pineapple-y to lemony and some piney bittersweet hoppy tones; super clean base malt
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes like a mix of orange to pineapple juice
Texture: medium bodied; good as a sipper; great smoothness along the tongue; good low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would have again.
