Crowler purchased from Oliver's Beverage in Albany, NY.
This one pours a slightly hazy golden yellow color, with a small head, and lots of lacing.
This smells like orange, berry, pine, marijuana, and some light malt.
This is another pretty great beer from a very underrated Vt brewery. There's a sticky and resinous quality to this, with some berry, lemon, and orange-y hop character.
This is medium bodied, with very little booziness, and a nice drinkability.
I like the semi-old-school feel of this one.

Pours a hazy orange. Sweet citrus aroma. A nice even tropical hop body. Smooth and refreshing. Slight bitter finish. A great double.

Pours a mostly translucent honey color, with a nice creamy/foamy head which stays around a while. Smell is muted with a strong wet hay profile. Taste is lots of spicy hops with luxurious malt profile. Reminds me of a lager almost with the crisp bite,( the original Carling Black Label recipe from the seventies to be exact). I remember taking a few from my Dad-Tastes like a solid well built ale that drinks like a Lager. Not a fruit bomb by any means,nutty, maybe a mild berry essence. you need to reach for it though. Feels well carbonated, and finishes semi dry,medium body. Overall this is a hard one to find, very limited run. If you are tired of the Pina Colada type double IPA this might be for you. I really enjoy it.

Pours a transparent straw color with a small short-lived head and lots of lacing .
Smells of piney floral hops. Tastes of lightly bitter hops with a bit of orange citrus.
Medium light body and carbonation. Light dry clean mouthfeel.
This is a nice light easy drinking west coast IPA.

From a 16 fl. oz. can date 03/02/2021. Sampled March 28, 2021. So this beer is out of retirement.
The appearance is a slightly hazy yellow-golden under a lasting white foamy head.
Aromas of pine and tropical fruits with maybe just the vaguest hint of spice or pepper. Also in the mix is a barley grain profile.
The mouthfeel is smooth and in the medium range.
The flavor begins sweet and then those pine and tropical characters seep in. But the finish tends to lean more spicy and overall dry. Nicely done.

Pours from a pint can a nice thick orange/copper color, looks good in the glass. Head lingers. Nose is all grapefruit, pineapple and orange. Taste is the fruit but more balanced than expected by malt. Good beer, good value for what I paid as well.

16oz can. Pours a hazy brownish orange with an inch of frothy head. Lots of lacing. The aroma is dried tropical fruits and candy. Light citrus notes. The taste is a blend of papaya, guava, orange and grapefruit. Some piney hop notes. Toasted malt and pine finish. Medium to heavy body with a chewy mouthfeel. Moderate alcohol heat.
