Can code but no date
Over carbonated and pouts with 4+ finger head that doesn't fade, a lot more head than beer in the glass, hazy cloudy orange color
Nose IPA like, citrus, some pine, grapefruit, citrus pith, sweet malt
Taste brings sweet malt, a touch of smooth alcohol, perfumey, hops come on with lots of citrus, grapefruit, orange, pithy, some creamy lactose notes, almost no cranberry, a bit of pineapple, semi sweet finish a bit more alcohol
Mouth is med to fuller bod, med to higher carb, creamy lactose
Overall meh, not sure what this was supposed to even be, it goes between NEIPA to double IPA with lactose which is kinda iffy in the first place, then they claim to have cranberry in there but I got nothing

Lightly hazy light gold color with a hint of amber.
Light cranberry tartness earthy grassy bitter pine with hints of bready maltiness to counter. not bad.

Stamp on the bottom of the can is: 21315. (Looks like a year old?)
Malt and citrus aroma with cranberry. Taste follows with a malt forward followed with citrus and cranberry on the back side. Medium body with a big stale taste.

16 ounce can.
Canned 21315 (315th day of 2021.
Moderate to vigorous pour yields a one inch white head over a hazy pinkish orange body with scant lacing.
Head dissipates down to a thin cap rather quickly
Nose of citrus and cranberry.
Taste mirrors nose closely with a finish of cranberry and citrus.
Nice, sort of creamy feel, with the just the right amount of lactose.
Overall, a refreshing DIPA that hides its 8.2% abv pretty well.
Cheers to the boys just up the road in Hyde Park, VT!
