Poured a semi cloudy honey color with 2F head in a Stone IPA glass.
Lackluster aroma- not well defined: grassy, a bit of citrus.
MF is good: nice carbonation with a good hoppy. Spiciness.
Taste is lackluster like the aroma: no clear definition. A hint of tropical fruit, not much else.
The recipe needs work. Look is good, MF quite good. Definitely change the hop profile.

Can stamped 06/27/2017.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a murky copper color with some floaties roaming all around. I wasn't bothered by it as I remember when I poured my first Heady, so be it. Thin cap of white foamy head that slid off at an adequate pace. Some light concave lace.
The aroma had a beautiful blend of citrus, raspberries (somewhat of a blend of red and black ones), light grassy tones, and a slight tropical fruit sweetness.
The flavor blended all of the previously mentioned aromas together bumping the sweetness in front of a semi-firm bitterness. Somewhat of a stiff sweet to bitter citrus rind to grassy toned aftertaste. Some of that berry quality tried to touch in the aftertaste, but it's so faint, part of me wishes there was just a little bit more.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Some bitterness seemed to concave on some imparting harshness, but didn't seem too distracting.
Overall, despite the look, the aroma and flavor seem to come together so well that this could be my all time favorite IPA by Rock Art, not sure, but I may even need to check on their other beers just to see how high this actually comes out. Quite a surprise!

Enjoyed right from the can.
Aromas are pretty low level amounts of hops and light yeast.
Flavors are rather muted with low hoppiness and a muddled presentation of hop flavors. Lots of wheatiness in the finish.
Mouthfeel was ok.
Overall, was really hoping for a lot more out of this beer. Rather forgettable.

Pours a cloudy golden orange hue with a frothy head into my glass. Mango and guava in the nose. Light and crisp. I want to say a nice berry touch in the middle. Finish is more reminiscent of grapefruit. Tart. Impressive for a solar-powered brew.

Poured from a can which states:
60 ibus.
6.0% abv.
Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a straw colored body with some lacing. Nose of dank citrus, tropical fruit, and ever so slight onions. Taste of bitter citrus with a nice, dry finish. Nice feel and overall a solid offering from Mo'ville, VT. Cheers!
