Canned 01/27/2018.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a moderately colored light tan to yellowed woody note with a nice looking white foamy finger's worth of head that gently dissipated. Mild rim of concave white foamy lace clicked against the glass fairly nice.
The aroma spoke of a very nice blend of orange juice and grapefruit juice, pulp and rind, flowing into each other with a gentle sprucy to piney fresh sweet hoppy quality.
The flavor was moderately sweet ebbing against the bitterness, fairly cool with a subtle refreshing mentality slyly pricking the bitterness to balance. Aftertaste was the orange juice and grapefruit lightly spritzing the piney spruciness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair in between glance of the sipping to sessionable sort of feel about it. I couldn't pound this, but I could definitely take a good swig of this. Carbonation felt as the usual low quality as I would expect with the New England style of IPA. ABV felt on par. Light juicy bittersweet finish.
Overall, very nicely done New England styled IPA, well worthy of having again.

 

 

Moderate pour yields a creamy white head over a fairly bright body with a little haze. Some lacing disappears after a few minutes with the head as well. Nose of some tropical fruit, some citrus. Taste mirrors nose with a citrus pith bitterness on the finish. Good feel and overall a solid IPA from Hinesburg, VT. Cheers!
