Got this in a trade a while ago. Let's see how it does:
Poured from 16-ounce can into a tulip glass. Can't fault the appearance: crystal-clear light golden color, with a soapy white head that hung around for a bit before settling and leaving some spotty lacing. We have some nice funk on the aroma and taste, which is good. Hints of citrus also obtain. Very clean and crisp, with medium body and low bitterness. A little astringent, possibly from the cedar boughs. A hint of the Balsam fir peeps through on the finish. BA says NEIPA, the brewer says New England farmhouse ale. I'd go more with the farmhouse style on this, due to its funk and its suggestion of an absolutely fantastic table beer. I'd say it held up very nicely.

I am quite excited to be adding this beer to The CANQuest (tm)! It was a collab among the resurfacing backlog here at Chez Woody & I have no idea of its origin as far as proCANment is CANcerned. Oh well.
From the CAN: "New England Farmhouse IPA"; "Brewed with white cedar boughs and Balsam fir tips. Dry hopped with both Connecticut and Vermont grown hops."
I would advocate for this being a New England AIPA, based on the label's verbiage, but I am not going to argue the point. Instead, I sent a Change Request just before Crack!ing open the vent. I beCAN a slow, gentle C-Line Glug that resulted in the formation of two-plus fingers of foamy, soapy, rocky, eggshell-white head with decent retention. Color was a deeply-hazy/lightly-cloudy Yellow-Gold (SRM = 4 - 5). Nose was funky, more aligned with a Saison. Hmm. Mouthfeel was medium-to-full, not quite creamy but on the approach. The taste was an oddly pleasant amalgam of pine mintiness, woodiness & a Saison-like funk. I am not sure where this really fit in, but stylistically, it was NOT an AIPA! I am going to rate it as an NEIPA since I think that it better aligns with that style. This had an earthiness from the locally-grown hops & perhaps from the (unknown) malt(s). The yeast was almost certainly some Saison strain, which also helped to dry it out. Finish was funky, earthy, woody, semi-dry to dry and overall a revelation! I was much more impressed than I expected to be. It is too bad that this was a one-off. YMMV.

L - disturbing amount of legs inside the glass here. Looks like simple syrup sliding down the walls. Hazy dark lemon yellow with a coarsely-bubbled head.
S - quite potent. Funky tart. Earthy, clovey and spicy. Freeze-dried banana chips. Vinous white grape warmth.
T - tastes like one of those hoppy hefes that are all the rage. Banana, bubblegum, clove, the usual. All wrapped up in a zesty, spicy package along with melon and chai tea. Another user tasted juniper and that guy is spot on. Lots of weird flavors that kinda work, but are jarring all the same.
F - fluffy and lively and easy-drinking without compromising a smooth, clean feel.
O - heard some mixed reviews on this and it's certainly a weird beer, but fortunately I enjoy weird. Not sure if these two styles work since the bite fights the juice, but I appreciate the attempt.
