We use an original VT ale strain to ferment this hazy IPA.Double dry hopped with NY Cascade, Citra, and VT grown Chinook and Centennial hops for floral notes of grapefruit, citrus, and juicy tropical fruit.

Can stamped underneath "01/10/20."
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a semi-bronzed burnt orange color with a subtle finger's worth of white foamy head softly dissolving to leave some modest lace - somewhat messy, one noticeable ring.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of bitter pine, some grassy bittersweetness, woody paper, onion skin and a touch of sweet danky to semi-earthy character.
The flavor yielded to the sweetness initially but seemed to develop a light semi-danky grassy to oniony pulled tone. Modest aftertaste of grassy bitter to semi-piney clenched woody papery dry tone.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Some dryness but not burdensome. Good carbonation as a New England styled one, maybe just a smidgeon above than expected but still fitting. Finishes semi-crisp with a well designed semi-floral dry piney-ness.
Overall, odd how the brewer named it what it is when this seems it's more of a cross between an American IPA (maybe a West Coast IPA) and a New England styled one. No worries, I'd still have again. It's well done.
