This was poured into a mug.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a slight transparency to it. No head, no lacing.
The aroma starts with some roasty malts, slight toast, subtle toffee and caramel malts. Underscore of nuttiness. Sly sweet grassy hops.
The flavor takes in an ample amount of sweet bready to nutty malts. Dried caramel and toffee portions slide in decently. Quick semi-sweet dried nutty aftertaste slides into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel to it. Crisp carbonation hits decently.
Overall, good Oktoberfest that I would have again.

Can: Poured a light amber color ale with a nice large foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of fresh citrusy hops notes is enticing. Taste is a nice mix of fresh citrusy hops notes with some light residual sugar notes and faint wheat malt with a smooth dry finish. Body is about average for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable though Citra hops could have been even more prominent.

On tap at Blackback, though poured into a tulip, I get what’s going on. Here’s the rest.
The appearance was a muddled burnt yellow almost orange color with a ringy little bit of a white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace.
The aroma starts off with the normal qualities of a MHL with a nice sweet touch of smoked malts, somewhat meaty-like, real nice.
The flavor takes the smoke sweet messiness to combine nicely with a sly sweet corn and grassy underneath. Smoky sweet to grassy clean sweet aftertaste with finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fantastic sessionability about it. Carbonation rides fairly light to make this easy drinking, crushable.
Overall, really nice way to reinvent the style by Zero Gravity. Definitely, would be a revisit.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange to red color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that dissipated immediately.
The aroma takes on blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and then some tart cherries, and then some light bitter lemon rind.
The flavor brings it all together sour to tart to sweet with a low riding bitter underneath. Quick tart fruity aftertaste with finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sipping to sessionable gliding sort of feel to it. Nicely carbed, sourness hits just right.
Overall, it’s a fruit beer with full effects of all of the components of real tart, sour and sweet qualities coming through. I’d have again.

On tap at Vermont Tap house.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color with a thin white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Glossy thin lacing.
The smell took on the subtle sweetness of the hops with a glowing piney to citrus assortment of bitterness. Rye seems barely there.
The flavor takes on some nice sweetness overriding the bitterness just a tad. Semi-sharp aftertaste. Sly semi-sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it Carbonation rides fairly light.
Overall, it’s a good AIPA for the most part. I could have again.

on tap at Vermont Tap house, Williston, VT.
They poured this into a tulip, so....yeah, take as you will (hopefully some day, the dumbness will be toned down).
The appearance was a glossy burnt red/ pink color. Thin white foamy head quickly dissipates. No lacing.
The smell has some tart to sour raspberry. Semi-sweet. Subtle sour brett underneath.
The flavor takes in the sour with the tart, and then the sweet. Mainly raspberry, quite authentic.Real raspberry-sour-ish semi-sweetness rides on inon the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body.
Overall, sour\"brett\"- like character prevails.I would have this again.

This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a moderately hazy but with a decent transparent burnt yellow color. Moderate carbonation could be seen rising at a nice pace. Thin foamy white head quickly dissipated.
The smell had a nice sweet to sour balance of the lemon rind turning in on itself and producing a nice subtle tartness underneath. Subtle saline sort of combined wheatiness further underneath.
The flavor was combined/blended between the bitter to sour lemon rind with a subtle sweetness of it poking its head out. Saline portion combines subtly with the \"sour-ed wheat\" decently. Quick sour to bitter lemony aftertaste. Quick refined salty finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fair sessionability to it. Carbonation runs as it should for a gose. Saltiness allows a decent refreshing but nothing overly done.
Overall, good for what it is, but really nothing over the top. Could bang again if offered.
