by VTbrewfan from Massachusetts
Poured from a an dated 3/28/22 into a tulip glass. Super hazy, straw yellow in color. Fluffy wet white head, good retention. Scents of honeydew melon and mango. Tasting notes follow the nose, really mild, chewy mouthfeel. Virtually no bitterness but a little bit of bite on the end. Definitely getting lots of melon and maybe a bit of banana too? Really hides the ABV well. Great beer, will be good to see how it stacks up as I continue to try more from foam.

A-Hazy straw yellow with bubbly white head
S-Aromas of melon and tropical fruit with an element of grape must and a tart fragrance
M-Full body with a juicy mouthfeel. Slight peppery bite and low end carbonation
T-Sweet upfront with melon flavour followed by an assertive bitterness that is tangy and remains
O-Excellent double IPA brew

A “crushable” 8% dipa from Foam. This has some citrusy tones both smell and taste but is no means a juice bomb. Slot of mango. Nice and subtle with a very nice light mouth feel. Recommend!

Had a single draft at Blackback Pub in Waterbury for seven dollars. My first brew from these guys. This was underwhelming, not a big fan of the melon.

Poured from a 16 oz can into a Dogfish Head tulip
L: Hazed out medium golden pour with big fluffy white head. Outstanding lacing.
S: Tropicals and citrus. Fruity hops.
T.F: Semi-sweet... light grains and citrus. Tangerine, pineapple, and mango. Big and fruity. Melon and grapefruit rind. Medium bodied and sticky on the tongue. Well carbonated.... smooth and drinkable.
O: An outstanding NEIPA from one of my favorite Vermont brewers. Excellent beer.
