A Vermont-style IPA that's rich and vibrant with notes of lime and pineapple. The brightness of Ella, Sticklebract and Southern Cross hops is well balanced with a smooth body to create a super refreshing beer that you’ll want to sip to last longer. A re-tinkered tribute to our first Island Hopspitality, the hopping for this brew was so complicated we had to create a spreadsheet just to keep track of it all - and it was so worth it.

As a big fan of some of the breweries in Vermont, the "Vermont Style IPA" on the label definitely drew me in, but this beer is from PEI! Moderately hazy, mild but pleasant aroma, not a ton of fruit or hop on the nose but some, balanced out with some sweet smelling malt. Taste follows with some fruity, grassy hop present but not as much as I'd like; some pleasant malt is just as present in the taste. I enjoyed this & would have it again but will not seek out. When I hear Vermont style IPA, I think Alchemist, and this isn't that, but still pretty enjoyable.

The 2018 version is 6.5% ABV. Super-hazy wheaten gold with a thick head with lacing. Juicy citrus nose. Medium malt body with moderate NZ hoppiness. Refreshing summer IPA.
