From growler

Pours a beautiful, cloudy gold topped with a dense finger of off-white foam. As it recedes oily lacicles slowly coalesce into lasting bas relief designs that give this glass of beer an inviting look it is hard to overstate.

Light/med. aroma that is all about neutral sweet, peachy yeast tones, multi tropical flavors, light floral perfume, hints of herbal bitter. Heavenly.

Taste makes good on the promise of the aroma, every flavor punches the clock on this baby. Med. strength taste. Tropical goodness is the theme and along the way peach, orange zest, and sweet grapefruit lead the way or join the party. Wonderful floral character that sets this apart with its sweet notes. Very bright and balanced, complex hops display, delicious.

Somehow manages to be substantial and resinous while also being light bodied and soft on palate. Killer clean finish that carries the exact right amount of citrus pith bitter to shine.

What can I say these guys kill it, wish they were closer. Doesn't get better than this, really, gonna ding it for strength of taste, otherwise this is my dream beer. Highest recommendation.

For me, this was IPA nirvana. I have not yet had the chance to try Tree House or Toppling Goliath IPAs, but I've had many of the incredibly delicious Vermont IPAs and this ranks at or near the top. Please keep making this beer!

On tap at the brewery. They poured this into a tall tulip. The appearance was a glossy yellow color with a thin white head. Mild lacing after head dissipation. The smell started off with a big sweet tropical fruits to a nice resinous underscore of juicy sweet to bitter citrus rind. The flavor brings about all of the previously mentioned flavors to boot. Exceptional fresh bittersweet aftertaste and finish. On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sipping quality about it. Carbonation seems good for the style and for me. Overall, damn nice DIPA that I would love to have again.

First sip was just meh, but as this opens up it.is truely amazing. There is a more floral note than you see in many NEIPA and an acidy that enhances the citrus hop notes. Really brilliant.combination.

Fresh can poured into a wheat beer glass. Very white but minimal head. Very hazing orange, yellow. Looks like grapefruit juice. Nice fruity aroma and taste. Juice bomb

Good mix of citrus fruit and a very interesting color. That being said, I didn’t love this beer. The flavor for some reason tasted a bit off to me - or just something I didn’t love.
