From a 16oz can dated 4/28/22 into a pint glass. Can message: Down not out.

Pours an opaque yellowish orange with one finger of white head. Ok retention, great lacing.

Nice smell. Marijuana is the first thing I pick up. Some dirt and grass and light citrus also present
.
Sweet melon taste-cantaloupe with citrus in the background. Light Bitterness. Bitterness creeps up on warming.

Very soft mouthfeel. Light melon aftertaste. Low carbonation. Full bodied.

While I'm not a huge fan of sweet juicy beers, this one really works well. Winner.

Drinking from the can.
Has a very strong, dank smell.
Does not taste as strong as it smells, very juicy.
Goes down easy, has a little warmth but can hardly tell how strong it is. Very little alcohol taste considering the percentage.
I don’t see it as a 96 but I would definitely buy it again.

 

Good head production and OK retention.

Aroma is pleasant but a touch muted, with notes of melon, lemon, pineapple, mango, pine, and bright green herbs.

Lovely creamy and soft mouthfeel, carrying a bit of bite.

Tasting notes primarily match the nose, but significantly amplified, with a lovely semi-sweet juiciness formed by the interplay of the modern hops and the strong malt backbone.

 

 

 

Milkshake cloudy with a tight-bubbled head. Broad streaky lacing, nearly blanketing.

Very weedy and vegetal smell. Light pale malt background.

Semisweet start with a fruit punch presence. Some alcohol warmth. The hop bitterness is not as pronounced as the smell suggests. Creamy body with a good level of carbonation. The finish and aftertaste are well balanced for a New England styled DIPA.

ok, it's fine but i don't see a 96 for this brew. sorry.
L: drinking from the can. very stoic.
S: kind of interesting combo of grapefruit and some papaya. ok.
T: this is where it leaves me flat. kind of a mishmash and just not working for me. sweet stuff at the beginning and a bitter finish but feels disconnected.
F: fine, i guess
O: for me, not worth seeking out. your mileage may vary

 

 

 

 

 

 

16 oz can. Pours muddy golden with tall, long lasting, fluffy white head. Aroma is of citrusy hops, bready malt and ripe fruit. Body is full and slightly crisp. Taste is of floral hops, tropical fruit and pale malt. Finish is long and dry. Nice brew.

 

pours thick, cloudy and murky with a moderate off-white head. Smell is pure grapefruit with the slightest hint of maltiness. Flavor is a malty grapefruit juice upfront with the hop bitterness coming in after, very well balanced. Mouthfeel is a spot-on chewyness. Goes down very easy, the ABV is hard to believe. Very nice.

A - Ugly. One finger white head - almost mousey in consistency. Cloudy brownish yellow.

S - Wonderful and intense

T - Resiny sweet. Sweeter than expected.

 

 

Pours a very hazy light amber golden color with a nice head and lacing
Aroma has citrus and tropical hints
The taste follows the nose with a pleasant and well balanced citrus and tropical flavors
A medium bodied well carbonated beer
A great NE IPA

 

Can dated 9/13/21 into pint glass. Pours a murky gold with a persistent off-white head. Great lacing. Initial impression is mango, tropical fruits, floral notes, and restrained malt sweetness. Mouthfeel is smooth and creamy. Finish is slightly sweet, with a hint of pine resin. Overall, an almost perfectly balanced DIPA from a very capable brewery.

How did I miss this Vt Masterpiece?
a) massive lace, scant white head, hazy yellow body.
s) Aromas of mango and tropical fruit salad with spruce and peach.
t) Follows aroma and adds flowers, some spruce, pine.
f) Creamy, satisfying, inviting, vibrant.
o) Among the best of recent DIPAs.

can into glass
Murky, medium dark orange, with a touch of gold around the edges. Light level of malted tangerine peel aroma. Off dry, moderate tangerine peel, with very little bite. Some medium toast, caramel malt flavor. An off-dry, tangerine peel finish, with nearly no bite. Medium mouthfeel.

 

 

This looks luscious. There's no starchy and billowing white head, in fact there's little head at all. This has come to mean a good thing for this style. The color is a yellow-amber and some gold character is there, too. There may be a sparse head, but there is plenty of carbonation. The smell isn't pronounced, but it surely defines itself as malty and hoppy. The taste is nearly perfectly balanced between malt sweetness and hop bitterness. Unfortunately, both tastes are on the mild side. That doesn't make it bad, it only keeps it from being great. Overall, it's a well balanced NEIPA that represents the style very well. There's some hoppiness and some malt body, with the AVB very well hidden. Way above average for the style and in general, but just short of greatness.

Solid!

Pours a hazy orange with a small head and a lot of lacing.

Smells of slightly dank floral piney hops and pineapple.

Tastes of slightly bitter hops upfront followed by pineapple, mango and orange with a barely bitter finish.

Medium body with light carbonation. Smooth slightly lush mouth feel.

This is a very drinkable well juicy/bitter balanced IPA.
