A hazy American IPA brewed with oats and finished with Falconer's Flight, Citra and Galaxy Hops.
Hazy in color, smooth by nature and free flowing by choice.

Pours a gold from a can, lemony aroma is more of a generic citrus in the mouth, nice round mouthfeel from the oats. Pretty good beer.

T42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton for the can. Light haze on this gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth pale malts, mildly sweet. Good piney hops. Modest hop spice. A little citrus getting ripe. More pine, cooling. Nice one.

Can thanks to Leighton at level 42. It pours lightly hazy yellow with a thick white head. The aroma is fresh, sticky, sweet, green, grassy, grapefruit, over - ripe nectarine and brioche. The taste is dry, bitter, sweet, sticky, peachy, nectarine, sugary, resin, grassy, danky and stinky onion with a dry finish. Medium body and fine carbonation. Too much onion. Not bad.

Can, as part of a trade with Leighton. Cheers! Pale gold. Soft haze. Skim of white head. Nose has chewy, fruity hop, in spades. Pineapple and grapefruit and candied citrus. Some sappy pine. Damp grain backdrop. Taste is crisp, citrusy bitter with a grainy sweetness. Oily mouthfeel. Maybe a bit flabby. Long, citrusy bitter finish. Lots of hops. Feels a little unbalanced, erring toward hop overload, overall.

Sampled on draft at Hugo’s this beer poured a bright yellow color with an enormous soapy white head that lingered and left decent lacing. The aroma was tart and sour with cactus and pine. The flavor was sweet yet bitter with notes of yeast, cactus and pine . Very long hoppy finish. Medium body. Ok.

Can at home in NH - sourced from the Hanover Co-Op. Pours clear gold with a foamy, white head. Great aroma, loaded with pithy citrus, tangerine, peach, melon. Light to medium sweet flavour with pithy and juicy citrus, mild piney and grassy bitterness, some orange rind, more tangerine, more peach. Medium bodied with average carbonation. Clean grassy bitterness in the finish, more rind, dry pale bread, pithy grapefruit and tangerine. I mean, this is excellent. I would honestly put this up against the other big name VT breweries. At 6%, this is super flavorful, well balanced, and really clean. Bravo.

Can from East Derry Slightly hazy deep yellow with a huge frothy white head that persists. Resinous earthy grassy hop nose with faint bready malt with a touch of toast. Flavor follows the aroma fairly well. Easy drinking solid IPA.
