Can to becher glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a finger's worth of eggshell white frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: roasted dark malts, light notes of black coffee, some caramel notes, earthiness and a little bit of dark chocolate
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to roasty to subtle bitterness; finishes leading with the dark malts - somewhat roasty
Texture: medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but also some roastiness grinding into the tongue ever so slightly
Overall: nice enough porter, I think I could come back to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark brown in the pour but seems closer to black in the glass with a two finger khaki frothy head which dissipated at a nice pace to leave some light lace
Aroma: dark malts, dark chocolate, light notes of black coffee with some pine and grapefruity hops
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine roasty to bitter to semi-sweet quality; finishes piney to dark malty and a touch of chocolate
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to being a sipper; light smoothness but not exactly a true "palate wrecker" as it seems the sharpness from the grapefruit and piney hops seems a bit tamer than expected and does not truly get cohesive with the dark chocolate bitterness and coffee tones
Overall: I mean - don't get me wrong there's some nice things about this black IPA that seem to be tracking but when it comes to the texture I need to know that this is a beer leading up to the style that should want to be the ender of one's beer drinking night.

Can to weizen glass.
Appearance: glossy amber to copper color with a little bit of transparency along the sides of the glass; finger and a half of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some sliding lace
Aroma: some sweet to tart wheat; light banana, some bubblegum, subtle lemon, light clove and a little bit of grassiness at the bottom
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a sweet to tart blend; finishes with the cloves and bubblegum
Texture: light to medium bodied, somewhat sessionable; some smoothness but no wheat kick or bite, hmmmm...
Overall: not bad for what it is but no where near to a middle tier hefeweizen.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: chill looking glossy amber color with a quarter finger of off-white to almost pink frothy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet floral/hibiscus tones, some pine, some lemon and grapefruit with some clean malts underneath
Flavor: does a great job of blending the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet floral to sweet citrusy and then a light bitter tone underneath; finishes definitely on the sweet side with those prior noted flavors
Texture: light to medium bodied, semi-sessionable; clean smoothness
Overall: pretty nicely done IPA worthy of coming back to; I guess this one is a New England styled one? Sure, why not.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark orange to almost amber with a touch of bronze to it; one and a quarter fingers of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: sweet grass to lemony hop tones; a little bit of mandarin orangey notes, subtle pineapple further underneath then some biscuity malt tones
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bittersweet semi-juicy content; finishes semi-dry with more of a lemony to orange-rind like bitterness
Texture: medium bodied, leaning towards being a sipper; nice smoothness; super light hop bitterness assertiveness - barely noticeable
Overall: pretty nicely done NEDIPA very worthy of returning to.

Overall: nicely done sour/tart fruit ale very worthy coming back to.
