16oz can from HomeBrewStuff. Clear, medium golden, thin white foamy head recedes. Light fruity aroma, grapefruit, caramel malts. Taste is showing its age a bit (canned in Feb 2023), malty, citrus notes a little musty, muted sweetness.

Canned Feb 9th, justv2 weeks ago. Pour is a crisp, clean, clear beer, nice looking. Frothy persistent head, which gives off notes of fruit, grassiness and maybe some piney besides. Taste is a tasty bitterness, modest finish and nothing off, harsh or overly bitter. A very nice IPA, bordering on Pale Ale territory. Highly drinkable and the 6.8% ABV is hardly noticeable.
Highly recommended, one of the best Frenz we have had the pleasure of trying.

Crowler fill- Pours mostly clear golden with a medium large white head that retains decently. Aroma is spicy hops, floral and mildly fruity, yet nothing screams at me. The taste is piney, resinous, sweet sticky malt, more balanced, some tropical notes present themselves. It's okay.

Aroma is the lovely peach-scented Pleasant sudsy mouthfeel. Moderate bitterness. Clean and plenty hoppy but everything is elegant and restrained. This is not such a fruity sort of IPA, but more like the classic Northwest style, dry, crisp, and resiny. Still, the Citra hops come through with some of the usual citrus notes. Very quaffable with just enough malt to smooth out the hops. From the 32 oz growler purchased at Railroad Pub in Burlington.
