Poured into a 13 oz Teku glass canned on 5/25/21. Pours a hazy yellow orange with a 2 finger sticky white head that leaves thin streaks of lace with excellent retention. 4
Aroma is tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, and apricot. 3.75
Taste follows tangerine, pineapple, passionfruit, and apricot really balanced. 3.75
Mouthfeel is about medium, maybe a little sticky but not dry, fairly soft carbonation, and at 6% easy drinking. 4
Overall this is a nice fairly session-able NEIPA. 3.75

Pours hazy yellowish gold with a one finger biscuit head. Smell is very earthy, not enjoyable for me . Taste is underdeveloped, a bit watery with vague fruity - not easy to pick it out so I'll say the hops are muted. Feel is watery and a little soft

Can stamped 03/16/20.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a mild semi-hazy chill yellow color with a soft white foamy head sliding off delicately. Subtle concave lace.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of orange peel, grapefruit rind, subtle citrus hop zest then a lighter dose of tangerine, but even that seems a bit of a stretch.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet end initially but a mild spicy to zesty hoppiness strolls in for a stellar balance. Mild aftertaste of grapefruit pith with orange peel.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Hop harshness is mostly tame, but "there." Carbonation felt fine. Nice finish of blended orange peel, grapefruit rind and some grassy hop zest.
Overall, a very nicely done AIPA with a lighter "look" to it that could have been construed as a New England styled one. I'd still have again.

16 oz. can.
Canned 03/16/2020.
Moderate pour yields a one and 1/2 inch white head over a slightly hazy, straw colored body with some sticky lacing. Nose of citrus (grapefruit, orange, and tangerine.) Taste of grapefruit (white, ruby red.) Very good feel and overall, a real good little IPA brewed and canned in Williston, VT.
Cheers!!!
