Can (4/6/21) pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! It's a cloudy light brown with decent sparkle, finger-plus width off-white foamy head with good retention and nice rings of lacing. Aroma is mellow lemon citrus with substantial malt/caramel. Taste follows aroma (lemon more pronounced) with late resiny bitterness. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation and finish as taste with lingering moderate bitterness. Overall, fairly standard conventional IPA. Can says notes of toffee so malt forwardness is not unexpected. Hops a bit muted but age may play somewhat of a role. OK.

Can from the Grafton General store. Hazy deep gold in color with a thin bubbly white head that dissipates quickly. Earthy grassy citrus and tropical fruits with bits of bready malt to counter. Mild astringency.

On tap at the brewpub.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy burnt orange color. Small thin white head. Very little lacing.
The smell took in a huge amount of sweet and bitter grapefruit pulp and rind, some slight extra citrus and then some pine underneath. Light amount of piney hops blend in underneath.
The taste was a nice balance between the grapefruit, citrus and pine. Semi-sweet lemon to grapefruit aftertaste. Quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body. Somewhat sessionable. Nicely carbonated.
Overall, what a really nice AIPA, I’d definitely have again.
