16oz pint at Cockadoodle Cafe in Bethel, VT. Pours a hazy orange with some soft, white, lacing head. Nose is spot on for the style, sticky pine, some dank onion patch, scallion, some grapefruit too. Flavor has some malt sweetness, almost a touch of candy, soap, pine, citrus. Sticky, zesty finish.

Draft @ Buffalo Wild Wings, Shelburne, VT. The bartentder just taped a fresh keg, sweet!! Deep hazy gold, huge ruffly head. Aroma and flavor are dank. Pine resin, grassy, garlic, scallions , green leafy hops. Bitterness is long lasting. Light malts to try and balance but the hops are loaded up here. Overall, lots of dank goodness, I like this a lot.

Tap: Poured a clear amber color ale with a medium size foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of floral citrus hops is quite nice and very refreshing. Taste is mostly dominated by nice floral hops notes with lightly sweet malt backbone with nice grassy feeling and medium bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Enjoyable and refreshing.

Growler from Nikki in Vermont. Pours a hazy golden colour with a white head, average retention and a little lace. Fresh mild hop nose, with the citrus notes. Wet mouthfeel with just a tad dryness in the finish. Again, the nice hop that is light, but effective. A nice IPA with beautiful Cascades, but not overpowering like most American IPA.

Draught at Farm House Tap and Grill. Cloudy gold, with a fine, frothy head. Hoppy, bready nose—grass, orange. Clean, hoppy flavor with orange, wheat, hay, grass, bread, cinnamon. Nice bitterness, smooth full body. Good. Very drinkable.

On tap at Three Needs in Burlington VT. I was surprised to see a beer from a brewery I never heard of on tap and being an IPA I had to sample it. Pours a slightly hazy golden straw color with a nice fluffy white head that sticks lace everywhere. Smells of citrus and pine with a hint of bread. Taste is what the aroma promised but adds a bit of tropical fruit. Medium body and carbonation level with a resinous sticky mouthfeel. Nice inaugural brew from the upstart brewery in Shelburne, I wish them much success.
