This Double IPA we’re calling a Vermont Style DIPA was brewed with a specific yeast that produces notes of stone fruit and a classic English yeast character. This sorta “classic” haze brewed with no wheat, no oats, strictly focuses on a big charge of Simcoe and a touch of Amarillo hops. Juicy and dank. Hazy, but not murky. West coast vibes with a Northeast flare. Not to be overthought.

16oz canned 11-13-23, opened 1-12-23.
3 fingers of white foam with incredible retenntion and lots of lace.
Deep golden body that is fairly opaque (most of, if not all, of the haze is from the last ounce fo the pour) but not a solid haze by any stretch.
Tropical, citrus, pine in a bold and vivid nose. Ripe orange and lime show late.
Flavors run consistent to the aroma - nice bitter pop of orange rind that is definitely welcome.
Medium body and carboantion with a firm bitternes in a lengthy finish.
Outstanding.

Light amber, hazy color. Creamy head. Medium to full nose. Hops in traditional NE DIPA style but not hazy/dry hopped. Solid malt and hops. Well-balanced. Highly quaffable.

Pours a hazy orange with thick, fluffy head.
Smell is juicy and a bit dank and sweet. Notes of mango, melon, pineapple and citrus.
Taste is juicy, dank and bit herbal with a solid bitterness. Notes of mango, melon, grapefruit and nectarine. Intense but well balanced.
Mouthfeel is medium, soft, pillowy and well carbonated.
Overall, a superb DIPA, can see the Heady influence.

Undated (WTF) can into pint glass. Pours a very hazy deep gold with a brief off-white head. Good lacing. Initial impression is orange, grapefruit rind, pineapple, and pine. Mouthfeel is medium and not particularly soft. Finish is semi-dry and slightly bitter. This one has its feet on both coasts - not an old-school West Coast IPA, but not a NEIPA either. I think it captures the good points of both, but YMMV.
