a: hazy straw yellow coloured body | ugly large-bubbled tan head
a: citrus (duh!) | biscuits | hop pellets

16 ounce can | Stowe Mercantile (general store): Stowe, Vermont | 25-May-2026 | US$4,99 | canned: 02-February-2026 | sampled: 18-June-2026

Canned on 02/16/2026 (boy that was hard to find but stamped in gold close to the end of the fingers to the left side of the can if anyone else wants to know where to find the canning date [or that's where the canning date I see at least])
Can to becher glass.
Appearance: chill haze/pale yellow color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which slid off at a nice pace and left some light messy lace
Aroma: a very nice overall scent of sweet tangerines, orange pulpy whiffs, mixed citrusy hops and a light malt backbone
Flavor: seems somewhat leading with the bitterness and seems to try desperately to find some sweetness to balance, hmmmm...finishes somewhat sticky with some tangerines and orange pulpiness
Texture: light to medium bodied; sessionable; some smoothness but also a little bit of dryness strolling along the tongue closer to the back
Overall: wish I could rate a beer only it's aroma if that was the case this would be an absolute gem; however, I do question myself if I had this too old or this didn't hang around like some other NEIPA's can. Hmmmm...
