Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy dark yellow to orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orangey to grapefruity to piney but seems like old pine - not dead - just a bit older; light clean biscuity to somewhat caramel-like malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet to sweet quality; finishes with the old pine and orange tones
Texture: medium bodied - hmmm, maybe a touch under; semi-sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness
Overall: seemed like a crossover of ADIPA's to NEDIPA's or something of that nature.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: yellow to blonde color with some transparency and a two and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: piney, mixed citrusy and a touch of orange and/or lemon rind before some clean bready and/or cracker malts show up
Flavor: fuses the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality then finishes the same way with a touch of dryness
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness - nothing overdone
Overall: nice enough APA that could warrant more pours and this one might be fairly good with some food by the grill.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark yellow haziness with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: peachy to piney and lemony hops up front; subtle apricot to earthy and grassy hops underneath then a light clean malt backbone
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet semi-sweet tone to a bittersweet juicy tone; finishes peachy/lemony and apricot-like
Texture: medium bodied, some sessionability but also some hop burn which seems to block some of the sessionability and also cause this beer to not be as smooth as I had hoped for
Overall: clean up the hop burn and this might be on it's way to becoming a way better beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bronzed copper color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head
Aroma: citrusy to piney and subtle peachy hop tones; light clean bready malts
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a malted bittersweet to semi-hoppy quality; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but with the cost of allowing the malts to push at the hop bitterness I thought I was going to end up getting
Overall: seemed somewhat like an old school-ish sort of DIPA. maybe again.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: bright orange to milky yellow haziness with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: mangoes, melons and grapefruity hop notes with a slight biscuity maltiness underneath
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a semi-juicy bittersweet quality with noted sugary tones combining; finishes mango-like with the grapefruity tones
Texture: medium bodied, semi-sessionable; good smoothness, nice low carb, low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEDIPA I would return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: black in the glass with a finger's worth of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark chocolate, some toasted coconuts, black coffee, dark roasted malts, subtle milk chocolate further down in there, and some cake-like batter/doughiness
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to semi-bitter to coconutty quality: finishes the same way
Texture: medium bodied - hmmm, maybe a touch under, but it leans to being a sipper; good smoothness
Overall: nicely done diabetes beer I believe I could come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: burnt orange hazy color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which tapered off at a nice pace to leave some light lace

Flavor: copies the aromas fairly bittersweet with a touch of subtle grainy to floral spice; finishes leading with the citrusy hoppiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness along the tongue; nice low carb and low hop bitterness asssertiveness
Overall: nicely done NEIPA I could come back to

Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine semi-juicy to slightly earthy to danky quality; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness and nice low hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: I'd be willing to come back to this.

Appearance: amber color with a two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: floral to herbal tones with some citrus zest and coriander, light notes of sweet wheat far down in there
Flavor: pretty much copies the aromas in a sweet to subtle zesty and light spicy sort of way; finishes citrus zest with a touch of coriander
Texture: light bodied, sessionable; some smoothness, light zest nicks the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: mostly easy drinker, maybe would come back to.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark orange to amber color with a two finger eggshell white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace
Aroma: pumpkin tones, nutmeg, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, light vanilla at the end
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas together semi-sweet with a brisk Autumnal spicy component; mild aftertaste of the pumpkin, nutmeg and cinnamon
Texture: between light and medium bodied, leaning towards being more of a sipper; finishes semi-dry but with a fulfilling pumpkin sweet vibe
Overall: I like this pumpkin ale, I've had it more than several times in life and practically always come back to it almost ever Autumn ever since I have been able to get my hands on it.
