Poured from a fresh 16 ounce can. This is an unusual beer. Cracking the can and taking a big sniff was disappointing. Not much going on. Poured almost clear yellow gold with a small, rapidly diminishing head. My first sip was tempered by the lack of a nose, but it was definitely different from what I was expecting after reading Vermont IPA on the label.
The second sip was a wake up call, and I really started to get interested. By the third sip, I was really enjoying it and it had a weird familiarity that took me a while to place. It's made from VT grown and milled barley and hops, but no mention of the yeast. The lightbulb appeared above my head and I realized that I was thinking of Houblon La Chouffe!
There's no mention of it on the can, or the website, but it has a distinct but subtle Belgian IPA quality that was quite pleasant. Similar creamy mouthfeel. I'll definitely buy it again, wishing now that I'd bought a 4 pack instead of just one.

What an odd beer!
I ended up putting this into an English pint glass. But oh hell, I can't even tell if this is supposed to be an English IPA, an American IPA or an American DIPA? If this doesn't leave most longstanding beer drinkers confused, eh, nothing fucking will!
And so here are my thoughts:
The appearance was a slight eloquent bright bronzed golden copper color with a shallow cap of a white foamy head. This softly slid off. And then the lace - it looked quite nice intricating itself in a slight spider web fashion.
The aroma was fairly sweet but somehow it rang throughout a blend of clean English malts, somewhat bready/biscuity with a "green"/fresh brisk crisp pine to grassy character flowing into some freshly cleaned laundry.
The flavor was moderately sweet trying to echo some brisk hoppy sweetness. Though fairly light in this department, it does somewhat pack it in tight. The aftertaste is weird, almost as if it doesn't even represent the aromas and flavors - it's a slow gripping danky character trying to mesh with a keen dry biscuity earthiness.
The mouthfeel was between light and medium bodied with a fair sipping to sessionable quality about it. Carbonation felt good as an American IPA. ABV felt on par. Finish was extremely malty, super hard trying to get much else here other than knowing this is super clean.
Overall, a mostly presentable well brewed DIPA or perhaps trying to be New England styled DIPA that I would have again.
