Can stamped underneath as 04/15/20.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a fairly bright mostly thick dark yellow to orange color with a small white foamy to semi-bubbly head slowly falling off. Just some semi-concave lace slid off.
The aroma had a wonderful blend of semi-bitter pine to citrusy rind with a super slight whiff of white peach/pineapple/tropical fruitiness.
The flavor leaned towards the sweet side initially but seemed to blend more with the bitterness balancing appropriately. Mild aftertaste of citrus rind, pine and white peach.
The mouthfeel was about medium bodied with a fair sipping quality about it. Good carbonation. Appropriate bitter harshness with some smooth effects. Finishes semi-sticky with a touch of citrus rind bitterness.
Overall, pretty nicely done American IPA or NE IPA depending upon who you talk to.

16 oz. can.
Canned 04/15/20.
Moderate pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy golden body with some lacing. Nose of citrus, slight tropical fruit, and slight dank pine with a bit of earthiness. Taste of slight dank citrus, slight dank tropical fruit, and slight dank pine. I don't feel slighted in the least! Finishes with slightly woody citrus pith. Good feel and overall, a pretty unique offering from the boys in Hyde Park, VT. and would recommend.
Cheers!!!
