16 ounce can with no discernible date.

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a slightly hazy light golden body with sticky lacing.

Nose has floral/herb notes with a bit of citrus and tropical fruit.

Taste is ever so slightly sweet (citrus and tropical fruit) with a somewhat crisp finish.

Nice, moderately full mouthfeel.

Overall, a real good session IPA and worthy to go check out!

Cheers!!

Draft at brewery. Orange golden pour with white creamy head. Grainy, bready aroma. Taste brings faint citrus, more bready malts. Very light, finishes fast. Body

Pint on draft in a becker at the brewery in Brattleboro.

Appearance: Cloudy orange. Short white head that reduces to film swiftly. Little lace.

Aroma: Citrus. Orange, grapefruit, lemon. Pine needles. Bit of sap.

Taste: Follows nose. Lots of flavor with not a lot of booze. Citrus-forward with some sweet malt backing. Touch of honey. Grassy. Lemony.

Mouthfeel: Very sessionable. Prickly, but nice finish that isn’t too bitter.

Overall: really good sessioner. Toes the APA/IPA line nimbly. Will try more from this brewery.

Crowler from the source, thanks Kelly and Paul for thinking of me. Mostly clear light golden color with a bubbly white head that persists. Bready earthy grassy with bits of citrus. I still don't get this style.

Had on tap from the source.

L — Pours a filtered pale orange/straw body with a small white head that dissipates fairly quickly and leaves some spotty lacing.
S — Mild tropical fruit mélange and vegetable peelings, not much else. Smells a little like the inside of a refrigerator
T — Moderately vinous and vegetal. Also getting crackery malts, blueberry, grapefruit rind, and a mild herbaceous character
F — Definitely a session IPA. Has that characteristic tortilla-like dryness. Very drinkable and crisp. Light mouthfeel, medium+ carb.
O — One of the most vegetal IPAs I’ve had. It’s not exactly unpleasant, just unusual. Pairs well with just about any meal given its mildness.

I had a few pints of this today up at the Whetstone rooftop Biergarten with Old Bro Artied2... $4.95 per serving....

Presented in a Willi Becher glass, it was a medium golden 2, with a touch of haze. Had a thin, white, rim-job head, with a smidge of lace. Nose had a little bread, some rindy citrus, and some grassy action. Body was on the thinner side of medium, and it was acceptably smooth.

Flavor started off with a bit of crackery, bready malt. Had some lemon peel and more grassyness. Found a subtle, spicy character in the finish before it turned dry. Not a bad session bier on a warm summer day. Prosit!

This was poured into a nonic pint glass at the brewpub. The appearance was a glossy yellow color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within less than thirty seconds leaving some light speckled lacing roaming around the glass. The smell had a sharp sweet to bitter blend of citrus rind and a bright pine. The taste took all of those previously mentioned flavors to combine in a nice bittersweet fashion. There’s no aftertaste but it had a semi-dry citrus finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light on the body with a fairly decent sessionability about it. The carbonation hits like a good APA and yields a substantial bitterness level. Overall, I liked this APA more than the last one. I’d have this one again.

Hazy pale gold color, hefty white foam cap. Lively
A very hearty hop aroma, earthy, slight wheat and fruits.
A rather snappy but full feel
Flavor is very bold with an array of complex hops that make it hearty, earthy and fruity. The light malt provides excellent balance.
This brew is crazy easy to session but is plenty complex as well.
