Can to tulip, the appearance was a semi-murky burnt orange wood color with a small cap of a little white foamy head that slid off at a fair pace. Some bubbly to foamy lace clung near the top of the glass.
The aroma started with some fresh spruce needles playing with a sly orange to citrusy juicy contour. Clean malt backbone.
The flavor seemed to keep out the spruce needles, which I didn't mind. Big citrusy to orange pulpy thickness here. Then leads into aftertaste exactly.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Carbonation was nice and low as expected. ABV felt appropriate. Modest stickiness. Good fulfilling citrusy finish.
Overall, extremely well done New England styled DIPA. Well worth my time.

Canned 05/24/18.
Labeled at 8.5% abv.
According to their website release calendar, this is a Brett Wizard?
"May 25 The Incident - 8.4% Brett Troix fermented Wizard."
Whatever, this beer likes me!
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a one inch slightly off-white head over a cloudy golden body with sticky lacing. Nose of sweet citrus, slight funk, and some tropical fruit as well. Taste of citrus, tropical fruit, and a nice pine/citrus pith finish. Nice feel (properly carbed with help from the Brett, maybe?) and overall, this, for me, is one of their best IPAs. Cheers!

Poured from the can into a tulip.
Pours a nice hazy and glowing medium to deep blonde with one finger of head.
Aromas are sticky tropical fruit, some dank hops and a hint of yeast.
Flavors are wonderful so sticky with mango and tropical fruit. Very little bitterness. Zero alcohol.
Mouthfeel was excellent.
Overall, this is surprisingly one of my fav Burlington Beers and Ive had a good number of them.
