16 oz. can packaged on 12/12/19.
Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a murky golden body with sticky lacing. Nose of blood orange, pineapple, slight pine, and white grapefruit. Taste mirrors nose with the pineapple taking over as it warms. Finishing somewhat dry with dried pineapple, white grapefruit, with slight to medium bitterness. Nice feel and overall, yet another fine IPA from my hometown of Stowe, VT.
Cheers to pineapple!

Bottom of the can stamped 12/12/19.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a nice looking semi-hazy cloudy paper yellow to woody orange color with a rocky foamy white colored head. Slid off to leave some speckled lace near the top starting weave into some nice sticky semi-bubbly and slightly foamy lace.
The aroma had some shredded pineapple chunks playing with some grassy hops, somewhat sweet and a soft piney hop contour. Subtle hop oil zest with sweet onion underneath.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet end initially but seemed to bring the bitterness and fold it on into that pineapple shredded fleshiness. Sweet to semi-bitter aftertaste of grassy/piney-ness with remnants of some pineapple sweetness.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality almost sessionable. Nice low key carbonation with some sharp zesty hops pushing on my tongue. Finishes slightly sticky with pineapple and subtle creamy notes.
Overall, AIPA or New England styled one? Another one of those crosses between the two styles that is well worthy of coming back to.
