Can to tulip.
Appearance: glossy yellow to copper color with a light transparency about it closer to the sides of the glass; two finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: light mixed citrusy to semi-floral and a touch of sweet mangoes; light biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet to a slight hoppy bittersweet quality; finishes mixed citrusy and the long lingering sweet mango tone
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to medium; somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of stickiness
Overall: it's somewhat good, I think, but some of the stickiness doesn't make this as enjoyable as it could have been. I had high hopes but this isn't a total failure - it just needs something to rough up that feel.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: clear yellow color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet grains, light corn? hmmmm...I think so, light citrusy to floral hops further down in there
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a clean grainy sweetness to a slightly floral and citrusy quality; finishes crisp mostly through the hops
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness and nothing distracting along the tongue; good carb level
Overall: nice enough smooth drinking lager I could have next to my grill this Summer.

Can to becher glass.
Appearance: semi-cloudy orange color with a three finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: some pineapple, light papaya with some light notes of mixed citrusy hops; clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a decent malty semi-juicy blend; finishes super sweet
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of hop bitterness assertiveness
Overall: it seemed like it was tracking but something about the aromas that seemed not as cohesive as other New England styled IPA's....I can't quite right put my finger on it.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown almost black color with a quarter finger of khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: Belgian sweet chocolate malts, earthiness, dark fruits, light tobacco, noticeable lager yeast and some dark bread
Flavor: intertwines the prior noted aromas to a fine malty sweet to earthy & fruity sweet and adds in a little bit of brown sugar; finishes malty, dark fruity and earthy
Texture: medium bodied, leaning into being a sipper; some smoothness, subtle dryness but nothing offensive; good carb level
Overall: I'd say pretty well done even though I noticed the lager yeast which I don't normally do in Baltic porters so I have to ask the question - is that okay for the style or not? Hmmmm, well, I'd still return to this.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: amber cloudy color with a four and a half fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: more bubblegum than I would have thought then some lighter tones of sweet wheat, cloves and a little bit of lemon then under that some banana
Flavor: combines the prior noted aromas to a fair sweet to light spicy tone; finishes leaning into the bubblegum, then banana and slight clove
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good amount of smoothness; the carb seemed fine
Overall: Magnolia is way better by far. I'm not exactly getting the best vibes from this beer.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: chill haze yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: wet grains, some floral hop to mixed citrusy hop tones; light notes of white pepper; hay/straw and a slight whiff of wet basement; sourdough-like malts? yeah, I think so
Flavor: copies the aromas to a fair sweet to lightly spicy sort of quality flanked by a little bit of tart; finishes crisp through the hay/straw to white pepper and a light note of a citrusy hint
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light; sessionable; some smoothness but also a touch of the white pepper nicking the tongue slightly
Overall: nice enough easy going Belgian pale ale I could possibly come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: fruity red color with a finger and a quarter of slight pink to off-white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: blackberries - sweet and tart with raspberries -sweet and tart; light lactic/sour-ish whiffs and a little bit of sweet wheat
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to tart initially with an underlying sour quality follows in from under for a slight balance; finishes slightly lactic with a blend of the blackberries & raspberries
Texture: light to medium bodied - maybe a touch closer to light; slightly sessionable; some smoothness but not too much as some of the tart to sour tones punch at the tongue slightly
Overall: nicely done kettle sour of blackberries & raspberries worth coming back to.

Can to snifter.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger and a half's worth of khaki foamy head which fell off nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: deep dark chocolate and milk chocolate malts with roasted nuts, sweet coffee, roasted coffee, sweet cream and a touch of lactose
Flavor: wraps up the prior noted aromas to a gentle sweetness with a nice roasty noted undertone; finishes leaning towards the sweet side with a touch of dryness from some of the roast
Texture: medium to full bodied, this is a sipper; wonderful smoothness rolling over the tongue with the appropriate note of creaminess right at the end of it
Overall: this is how you do, Mayflower! Boom!
