We're getting to the end of this New England trip reviews in October 2019. This was like the 3rd beer consumed at the taphouse that day.
Appearance of of a hazy ipa. Amber blended with orange juice color, thin 1/5" white head. Oleg no think sexy, but its not so horrible you get hesitant to drink it. Big juicy aroma,orange, pineapple. Smells like Citra and Galaxy.
Taste comes in juicy as well. The alcohol is tempered, so even at imperial strength, it drinks like something easier going. Relatively smooth without covering up too much bitterness. Seems like they get plenty of respectable juiciness out of it without relying on adding juice. Nice. I don't recall if this was available in cans, but it scored high enough to consider it. Plenty serviceable beer better than the average one you'll run into. Manages to have what comes off as a real light body that packs a lot of flavor and a good amount of alcohol while being plenty drinkable.

On tap at Fiddlehead Brewing in Shelburne, VT.
This one pours a very hazy golden orange with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This one smells like orange jam, stone fruit, grapefruit, pineapple, and piney hops.
This has that classic Fiddlehead fresh earthy bitterness, with a huge dose of orange, pineapple, and peach. It’s just so smooth and drinkable.
This is light bodied, clean, with a fresh bitterness that doesn’t linger too long.
This is just classic fresh local VT IPA. Purely satisfying.
