Draft at The Hanger, Amherst, MA.
A- Pint glass from draft pour with a slightly hazy yellow body and an inch high frothy white head. Good head retention and a small ring leaves webs of lace behind.
S- Simple but effective with a floral, fruity hop profile prominent in the aroma giving off notes of mango, tangerine, soft citrus, peach, melon and dankness. Crusty pale grains.
T- Calms down even a bit more with a balance of floral, citrus and juicy fruit hops. Clementine, mango, melon, dank herbs, papaya and floral hop profile atop a base of slight wheaty bread and silent yeast.
MF- Puffy and fluffy texture to the silky medium body. Clean smooth bitterness in the finish.
Not a huge and diverse flavor profile but plenty of strength to the tropical, citrus and floral hop profile.

Growlette share.
Thinking this was a wheat IPA, this was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking hazy thick dark yellow to orange color with a finger's worth of white foamy head that slid off at a mild pace. Lace was here and there, quaint, sliding, looked good.
The aroma had some peach flesh and skin, sweet with an ample amount of tart and a low riding "sour" edge of some rind to pithy character that was pretty far underneath.
The flavor was moderately sweet with a touch of the sour and some bitterness invading in a nice way for balance. Aftertaste had the sweet wheatiness flowing into a semi-sour to tart bright pull.
The mouthfeel was almost medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good, somewhat low key with a sturdy felt ABV just as it was meant to be. Nice clean semi-sweet to bitter with a touch of sour sort of finish.
Overall, wheat DIPA? I'd say that's what Matty O meant for this to be and it's one that I'd have again.

Lucked out with a 32 oz. growler. Sight unseen and just wanted to try it as I am a not so often visitor to Vt. Very nice brew from on of my favorite breweries. Always worth a visit.

This one pours a hazy yellow-orange-ish, with a fluffy head and a good bit of lacing.
This smells like orange, soft wheat, and peach.
This is really peachy and soft, with a good peach/grapefruit/orange thing. There's a nice creamy wheat feel to this, with a slight bitterness on the finish.
This is light bodied, crisp and very clean, with a huge level of drinkability.
I always forgot how good Fiddlehead beers are.
