Can to becher glass.
Appearance: milky yellow color with a two finger white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: pineapple to melon hoppy tones up front with a mango to piney hop note with a light orangey hop in there too; light clean malts underneath
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet & bittersweet juicy citrusy & tropical hoppy vibe; finishes slightly sticky with tropical hop depth
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; good smoothness with just a little bit of hop bitter assertiveness but it's really light and non-offensive
Overall: nicely done NEIPA very worthy of coming back to.

Crowler to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy orange color with a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mixed citrusy to floral hop tones up front and a light clean malt backbone
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty and hoppy quality to a fine bittersweet fully meshed quality; finishes leaning towards those hoppy notes
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; good smoothness with a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness but nothing budensome
Overall: pretty nicely done NEPA worth banging again.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two and a half fingers of eggshell white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: black coffee, some chocolate sweetness; subtle dark chocolate; sweet earthiness, subtle ash
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-roasty quality with a light bitterness underneath; finishes semi-dry with a light ashy tone
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; great smoothness with a faint ashy tone acting ever so slightly assertive
Overall: not bad but I bet this would be way better if some of the ashiness was taken out.

Can to mug.
Appearance: clear yellow golden color with a three finger white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet honey coated biscuity malts, nice floral hops, some bready/sweet yeasty notes
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet bready/biscuity maltiness; finishes the same way
Texture: medium bodied, very sessionable, very smooth along the tongue and nothing distracting
Overall: a very nicely done Helles lager by Grimm. I would definitely look for this one again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt yellow semi-cloudiness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some grapefruity to mango, piney then some papaya hop notes; light clean malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet hoppy to malty quality; finishes leaning into the grapefruity and mango hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, leaning into being somewhat sessionable; good smoothness but also a little bit of low hop bitterness assertiveness - but so light it's almost not really noticeable; good carb level
Overall: nicely done NEDIPA I could hang with again.

Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness with a nip of some hop bitterness assertiveness - not burdensome - just noticeable
Overall: pretty good NEDIPA I could return to.
