Tall can (thx, Francis A.!). Pours a slightly haxy golden with a white head. Aroma is resiny with some dirty notes. Taste is similar with moderate piney bitterness. Interesting.

20/XI/17 - 1Pt. can @ home - BB: n/a, canned: n/a (really? So, promoting the fact that you have to drink their beers as fresh as possible, but refusing to put a canning date on the can, how far does that get us, huh?) (2017-1895) Thanks to ElManana+1 for sharing the can!
Clear orange beer, small creamy off-white head, unstable, dissipates quickly. Aroma: very fruity, citrus, grapefruit, bit malty, lovely stuff! MF: ok carbon, medium body. Taste: pretty fruity start, bit floral, pineapple, very bitter, some caramel malts. Aftertaste: very resinous, dry bitterness, pretty darn fruity, bit malty, sweet touch, nicely balanced beer!

Pours a clear, golden yellow, with mid-sized, fluffy, lasting head. Aroma is grassy, with some citrus and pine/spruce hops. Flavor is very pine/spruce up front, with a crisp, bitter finish. Some citrus accents are also apparent.

Draft at The Alchemist Brewery in Stowe, VT. 7.7 ABV. Clear gold colow with a white head and great retention. Super hoppy and bitter flavor. Bleh. Thank God it was a free sample.

16 oz. can, purchased in Stowe, VT. Color is a clear golden with full foamy head. Aroma is floral and herbal hints with lightly sweet malt. Flavor has mild Dany pine. The floral hints in the finish are very close to being overridden by the piney, weedy dankness. Good malt bill balance that provides proper sweetness. Mouthfeel is not sticky becuase of bold pine resin with some sweet crystal malts. Real nice IPA!
