Can, picked up at the brewery. Medium gold. A few floaters. Moderate haze. Thick suds of white. Nose has dry grain. Leafy hop. Lemon peel. Cut grass. Taste is super bitter, with a minimal amount of malt sweetness. Quite clean and fresh on the palate. Crisp carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Smashable pale.

Can slammed in Vermont. Pours a little unclear gold with a foamy, white head. Serviceable if a bit uninspiring. Has some notes of rindy citrus, pale bread, mellow piney bitterness. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with a little citrus pith, dried pale bread, soft pine. Decent.

Pours an only-slightly hazy, pale golden yellow, with smallish head. Aroma is full of sharp, piney hops, with some malt and grain. Flavor is quite bitter. Pine/spruce hops in the fore, some citrus, with a bitter finish. Not a NE-style IPA at all, but delicious nonetheless.

Pours a hazy dark amber from a can, some lacing. Aroma is pine resin followed by a light pot, flavor is similar, highly bitter before ending on some dank pot. Surprisingly thin and rather one-dimensional. Okay beer.
