This IPA is a seeker on a quest for reconciliation; beautiful hoppy aromas and flavors brought to glorious collaboration with malty goodness.
A backbone of Munich and Pilsner malts support a solid dose of Chinook hops from Vermont’s own Champlain Valley Hops.
Toss in a little grapefruity-ish balance from some Simcoe and Mosaic, and what we have is a very pleasant pairing. A beer suited to cheering others, looking out of windows, and inspirational movies.

16oz can, sitting in the back of my fridge ... ok, it's time! Canned 04DEC23...
Pours a medium golden color, with a little bit of haze. Head is a solid layer of fluffy, pillowy white foam, with decent lacing. Aroma has some lightly toasted malts, plus a bit of apricot and tangerine. Body is medium with a fairly smooth feel.
Flavor also has some toasty action but it's quite restrained. Fruity notes are prevalent, with a mix of grapefruit, melon, apricot and honeydew. Decent and drinkable, though likely a one-and-done.
Prost!!

Can (undated, but purchased at the brewery) into pint glass. Pours a slightly hazy medium gold with a persistent off-white head. Decent lacing. Initial impression is citrus rind, pineapple, and pine. Mouthfeel is medium soft. Finish is pine resin and citrus. Overall, it's OK but I won't revisit.

A very basic APA. Seemed more like a Pilsner than an IPA style. Nothing memorable. I would figured it to be a simple starter for a novice drinker. One and done.

Classic nose of pure piney hops, citrus zest, and light to medium malty base balance. Crisp, clean, grainy, charred pilsner malt grains, burnt caramel and earthy pine tree sap. A very classic tasting and feeling AIPA start to finish. Take a trip back.

From a 16 oz. can dated 03/29/22. Sampled July 4, 2022.
The pour is golden with a slight fog but not a haze underneath a lingering white foamy head.
The aroma is close to melons and cantaloupe with a little orange and a lower profile barley grain breadiness.
Medium mouthfeel.
This is a three month old can so the taste has gone stale but I still pick up the breadiness, the melon, and a strong bitter finish. The bitterness seems bigger than 35 IBU.
