Can to becher glass.
Appearance: hazy orange color with a finger and a half's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: orange, papaya & melon hop tones; light clean biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bittersweet quality; finishes towards the papaya & oranges
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; good smoothness, some light hop assertiveness
Overall: a nicely done NEIPA worthy of coming back to.

Can to lager glass.
Appearance: dark brown with some light red hues along the sides of the glass but looks closer to black in the glass.
Aroma: cocoa powder, dark roasted tones, slight black coffee, dark breadiness and sweet earthiness
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet to bitter to roasty quality with a dry finish of the cocoa powder and earthiness
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; light smoothness but also some dryness gripping to the tongue
Overall: pretty nicely done dark lager I could return to.

Can to tulip.
Appearance: dark pink to somewhat copper/purpled hued with a quarter finger of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: tart and sweet mixed berries with a light lemony sweet to tart hoppiness; subtle funk
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a tart to sweet quality with that funky aroma I previously smelled seems to be lying much lower here; finishes berry-ish and lemony
Texture: medium bodied, leaning to be a sipper; light smoothness but that funky and tart vibe seems to come back to provide a subtle sour assertiveness here
Overall: is this a sour IPA or possibly a farmhouse IPA? It might be, but I can still see myself coming back to this.

Can to mug.
Appearance: clean yellow color with a one finger white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: swift clean biscuity malts with some super light grassy/floral hops
Flavor: melds the prior noted aromas to a fine sweet malty quality; finishes the same way
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness over the tongue
Overall: nice enough as a clean lager I wouldn't mind banging again while grilling or fishing.

Can to English pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black in color with a two finger khaki foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: black coffee, roasted coffee tones; dark chocolate and some dark wet grains
Flavor: blends the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to roasty and sweet quality
Texture: medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness but not too much as some of the roastiness seems to grind into the tongue
Overall: for the most part, this was a nice coffee porter I believe I could return to.
