From 07/29/15 notes. Had this on tap at Fool's Gold in NYC at their Troeg's tap takeover.
Pours a hazy bright yellow color with one inch of white head and low carbonation evident. Great taste, very tropical, citra hops, oranges, light pineapple and resin. Medium body and low carbonation.
Not a hop bomb but super easy to drink and veyr flavorful...lots of fruits.

On tap at the Tap and Mallet in Rochester, NY.
This one pours a golden orange-ish yellow, quarter inch head, small amount of lacing.
The aroma on this one is really bright and expressive, love it. Orange, grapefruit, and pineapple galore, zesty AF.
This one also tastes good, naturally. The fruits mentioned above are in full force, super juicy. I get a bit of hop oil flavor, kinda slick, but not overpowering. I don't really pick up any malt character, but that's ok.
This was supposed to be "Vermont-style," but I think they missed it in the mouthfeel. It's not quite as creamy or soft as the typical Vermont hop masterpieces, but that's ok. This is much better when the "Vermont-style" moniker is removed. Anyways- it's juicy, it's crisp, it's got lively carbonation. Tasty.
I'm really happy that Troegs made this special for Rochester Beer Week- I hope they bring it back in some form.

enjoyed on tap at the Brewery tasting room served in a glass.
The color is light golden shade with very good clarity and white head. The smell is mostly floral with hoppy earthy aroma. The feel is very dry with mineral and spice-like quality moderately carbonated with mild alcohol influence.
The taste is tangy with moderate amount of hop flavor with low sweetness and spicy taste with an almost grassy hop profile. This is a decent IPA, but not the best tasting -has more hop aroma than hop flavor with mostly bitterness as focus.
