Tap at Draught 55, I’m not really drinking this week but didn’t want to miss out on fiddlehead making appearance in city. Fine hazy orange pour and head dissipates quickly. Lovely nose of bright citrus, tropics, grass and funk. Tastes of nectarine, pineapple, plenty of lime, florals, white grape, some funky Brett. Light bodied. Slight sourness at first. Fruity finish. Interesting stuff

Pours a nice golden amber from a tap, rich citrus aroma is followed through in the mouth. Nice well-rounded IPA.

Draught at Buk’s Boston, 3/21/17 and again at Lulu’s, 4/23/17.
A moderately hazy, bright goldenrod-brass body shows healthy carbonation and is topped by a firm, good-sized, white head.
Fresh yeast mixes with light honey and biscuit from the malt as the hops add lime zest, dry pineapple and light grapefruit. It’s lightly juicy, but there’s a persistent heavy lime character that I associate with Simcoe (though having had a beer recently without simcoe where i still got it, I’m not sure what to think it is). It’s just, well, aggressive and twangy, though not like full-on pine resin. Otherwise it’s clean and seems well-done with no booziness.
In the mouth it’s lightly juicy with still a firm bitterness and strong carbonation. Good malt/wheat-like texture and a high attenuation. Lots of lime and grapefruit with light pineapple and mango lingering. Clean, fresh and very zesty. I’ve had some that were very mediocre and others that very much surprised me, so the jury’s still out on this one, for me. Need to try more. I will say that it’s a unique VT IPA and not a cookie cutter follow after Alchemist/HF beer, so props for that.

Sampler at the brewery showing cloudy yellow with a finger of clean white foam. The nose shows a moderately intense mix of grapefruit, pineapple, and pine. The palate is gently carbonated and medium bodied. Light flavors of resinous pine ending on a moderately zesty bitterness and juicy grapefruit appearing once again on the linger.

On tap fiddle head. Pours out a golden topped with a fluffy white head. Nose is dank hops a nice tropical fruit note and a great malt sweetness. Taste is more of the nice tropical fruit hops a dank kick and some rich malts well balanced.

On tap at the brewery. Clear blond. Cream coloured head. Good, juicy fruit hop. Plenty of resinous notes. Grainy malts. Taste is on the sweeter side of piny hop. Palate is smooth, and creamy. Finishes light, resinous bitter. Super easy drinking.

Growlette brought home and poured into a nonic.
The appearance was a hazy pale orange color with a foamy one finger white head that left some stringy lacing here and there in a messy sort of way.
The smell had some citrus with a sweet grassiness and opening up into some light orange/tangerine aromatics.
The taste offered a nice blend between the sweet citrus to the bitter rind-like part of the citrus side. Grassiness subsides a bit and bleeds into the aftertaste. There’s a semi-dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable aspect about it. Carbonation feels nice for the style and for me, nothing sharp just enough, and still allowing the bitterness to be the harshness on my tongue.
Overall, this was a nicely done IPA that I would have again.

Keg at The Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. Pours clear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. The nose holds pale citrus fruits, pale bread, some anise, pine needles. Medium sweet flavor with some lightly dried citrus, in particular tangerine and grapefruit, with pale bready malts beneath. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with further pale malt sweetness, low bitterness, nicely juicy and citrusy hops. Very, very well balanced. Solid.
