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 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. Thereβs 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.

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.
