Golden pour with a bit of haze. Substantial white head with great glass lacing. Using locally grown Nugget and Chinook hops gives this IPA a decidedly western feel--resinous, modestly fruity on the melon spectrum. The resinous finish is remarkably deep and long-lasting. Just doesn't quit. Love the Vermont homegrown angle. Foam is a special brewer.

Poured from tap at Positive Pies in Plainfield, VT. Poured straw yellow with two fingers of head that slowly recedes. Great lacing as she goes down. Tastes of tropical fruit - guava & melon - with slight hops on the end. Okay.

The end of the "Days Between."
16 ounce can packaged on 08/01/2023,
which would have been my Dad's 99th birthday.
Tasted and reviewed (8/20/23) on the 35th anniversary of his passing.
RIP Vincent V. 8/1/1924-8/20/1988.

Moderate pour yields a 3/4 inch white head over a slightly hazy, near bright body with sticky lacing.

Nose of "all the melon."

Taste of "all the melon." Not much bitterness at all, and upon a warming there is a hint of pear flavor as well.

Moderate feel with medium carbonation.

Overall, not one for all you hazybois, bitterbois, or whatever.
This Foam offering is a nice mellow IPA to pound like there's no tomorrow!

Cheers!!

16oz can dated 8/1/23.

Pours clear yellow with a faint haze. Moderate retention. Faint melon in the nose. Medium bodied with a soft but thinnish mouthfeel. Cantaloupe on the palate with minimal malt or bitterness. Finishes with lingering melon.
