Draught @ Brewpub: this one pours a hazy golden color. There was a wisp of a white head that left some lacing. It has a lighter but good nose. Mainly piney hops. The taste is good. It has a pretty good hop bite. Good body and balance. Mainly piney hops for the taste. Good!

Poured from a bomber into an enlarged snifter. I picked this up at the brewery today. The label says drink by Dec 2014.
A: Pours a light, slightly hazy amber and leaves a finger of white head.
S: Nice mild floral and pine, a dash of honey, hint of malts. Pleasant and light.
T: Nice peachy hops, with some floral notes. A bit of malts at the end, along with some pine. Finishes very light.
M: Medium to well carbonated with a light to medium body. Nice for the style. A bit bitter on the finish, but pretty smooth.
O: A nice, light IPA with some good flavors from the hops, but also well balanced.

Poured from the bottle into a Portsmouth Globe glass.
Deep yellow lemon body, glowing like an orb through a somewhat opaque body. Real nice antique and light white creamy and creamed color head. Makes three fingers and settles to a two with a solid retention giving top.
Great nose. Tropical notes, sort of melon, and a real nice hint of vanilla sweetness. Some light grain background with a bit of husky quality. Mild dank notes and some florailty. A real good inviting hop angle, with some decent malt sugar controlled senses.
Palate comes a little less varied. Some crackling malt notes, but without a biscuity density. Slightly watery body gets hints of dried pine and spruce hop finish. Repeated sips bring more of the aroma but with the palate more lackluster.
Overall decent and a good hopped IPA example, but it's not really grabbing me that much.
