Can to becher glass.
Appearance: burnt yellow to almost orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: fleshy sweet peach with papaya sweet hop notes; light clean biscuity malts then a touch of lime-like hops further down in there
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a great sweet to super subtle tart from the lime-hop notes; finishes mostly with the peach and papaya-like sweet tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; great smoothness with nothing distracting anywhere; nice low carb and low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I say a pretty nicely done NEIPA I would very much love to come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: pale burnt yellow to orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to mixed dark berries with a little bit of peachy flesh and a note of mango sweet fleshy toned hops; light clean biscuity malts in the background
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet juicy quality; finishes mixed citrusy to berry-ish with some dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness scraping the tongue a bit; the carb level felt fine
Overall: seemed a bit modernized as to being an APA and might be construed as a NEPA, but whatever it is, it's good enough to come back to.

On tap at Foam Brewers.
Appearance: super thick looking orange haziness with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet and tart pineapple tones with an edge of funk; light papaya and guava-like hop notes round that out very expressively then a barely noticeable clean biscuity malt base
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a superb juicy to bittersweet juicy sweetness and the funk to tart tones seem to fade further back into the beer; finishes mostly through the sweet pineapples, a touch of bitter hop tones of papaya and guava
Texture: light to medium bodied - perhaps closer to medium bodied, sessionable; a great level of smoothness with nothing getting in the way of the flow; nice low carb and a low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: they don't brew the NEIPA's like they used to but when Foam did this one, you knew it was a Foam beer.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: soft yellow clear color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sly earthy to grassy to semi-herbal hop character up front with a subtle biscuity malt backbone and some clean toffee notes
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty to sweet herbal and underscored by the sweetness of the biscuits and toffee character; finishes clean with some herbal to toffee notes
Texture: light to medium bodied, very sessionable; good smoothness with nothing distracting anywhere - just a great even flow
Overall: I say it works as a British pale ale though perhaps a bit lighter in color but hey who's arguing if this a "modernized" clean-ed up version.

Growler brought home and consumed on 12/19/2017.
Poured into a lager glass.
Appearance: clear glossy yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: citrusy to floral hop notes up front with a clean crackery malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine malty to hoppy sweet quality; finishes crisp and clean with slight floral dry speck to it
Texture: light bodied, very sessionable; great smoothness to this and nothing distracting anywhere
Overall: pretty good "modernized" pilseners I believe I could come back to in that respect.

On tap at Foam Brewers on 11/28/2017.
Appearance: glossy burnt yellow to orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: green and red apples sweet and tart tones brushed with some salt then end up getting smoked; lingering lemony tones underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a sweet to sour to tart quality; finishes semi-tart with some sour and then underscored by a little sweet and tart character
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; good smoothness with a light tart stain nicking the tongue as I was kinda hoping it would
Overall: nice fruited tart and salty ale I could come back to in that respect.

Poured into a tulip.
Appearance: cloudy orange color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mango, melon, danky piney hop tones with a light lemon peel at the end; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet juicy to bittersweet juicy danky piney tone; finishes piney to lemony and melon-like with a touch of dry
Texture: medium bodied, great sipper; awesome smoothness with barely nothing distracting; nice low carb and extremely low to not even there in hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: a very nicely done NEDIPA I would very much welcome again!

Can to stange glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: earthy spicy to herbal hoppiness with a light crackery malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine snappy hop spicy tone to a very good sweet maltiness; finishes crisp with the snappy hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness strolling along the tongue with just a touch of the snappy hop tones - but I was expecting it so to me it was non-offensive
Overall: I say a nicely done Czech pilsener I would return to.

Can to stange glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a four finger white foamy head which took it's time to dissipate then once it did some light lace
Aroma: slight floral to earthy hop notes then a light herbal sweetness; slight honey tones underneath
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine herbal to floral sweetness; finishes the same way with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness with a little bit of herbal dryness
Overall: hey look an Italian pilsener which isn't oily, well, I'd say this is one I can get behind.
