Purchased at Allen Bros. Farm on 7/7/22 opened and reviewed same day.
Look. A totally classic American IPA look, except for the nice white tinted haze within the gold.
Nose: Nice mix of grainy, earthy golden malts and piney, husky hops.
Feel & Flavor: Clean is the word! Crisp, but then much smoother than most old school AIPA's due to the hazy smooth, NE style effect. Flavor is a perfect balance of clean, grainy malts and old school pine and very subtle earthy tones... Probably Cascade hops (?) .
Overall: This has me wanting more classic American IPA's with the proper balance, but slightly more hazy and smooth in the finish like this.

16 ounce can without a date.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a huge 2 inch white head over a light to medium hazy body with lacing.
Nose of citrus, slight tropical fruit, and even slighter pine.
Taste mirrors nose pretty closely with a finish of citrus pith and slight pine bitterness.
Mouthfeel is good and fairly mouth filling.
Overall, a more than decent IPA from Brandon, VT.
Cheers!

Poured into a pint glass out of a 16 oz can; no birth date. Pours hazy yellow with two-ish fingers of head; good lacing and retention. Tastes of watery citrus with slight bitter hops. Refreshing and nicely done.

From an undated 16 oz. can acquired and sampled on June 26, 2022.
The appearance is yellow-golden with a modest, lingering ivory head that laces as it fades. Mild cloudiness. Not hazy.
The aroma is grainy and bready with floral hops penetrating the senses and maybe some pine. Doughy. Vague caramel.
Medium mouthfeel and creamy.
The flavor is bready and sweet to start with a vibrant pine and floral hop bitterness at the rear. Also, mildly dry. Crisp too. It really is a traditional American IPA and not a juiced up, hopped up modern IPA.
