16 oz. can purchased at Hunger Mountain Co-Op. Massive lasting head sitting on top a cloudy golden liquid. Aroma shows that of Mosaic grassy hints, mild scallion and some light honey hints.
Flavor has the same light scallion right up front with a honey grain base. The alcohol is pretty noticeable as it warms up and has a sweet sugar finish. I guess the balance is pretty good, some pine and herbal hop flavor but it really is on the sweet side. The canning date stamped on the bottom reads 06/16/2015. So age is not an issue, just on the sweet side.

Battle/can share. Nice to see some of the East Coast brewers getting it right with the hops. This brew brings them out in spades. Nice copper body, delicious piney aroma, all around well crafted beer.

16oz can thanks to Steve. Pours out a crisp golden topped with a small white head. Nose is nice hop kick pine citrus and a good bread malt. Taste is more of the hop mix and a good malty balance.

Can shared in NYC. Pours clear, deep gold with a frothy white head. Some dank and piney hops in the nose, nips of bread, orange. Medium sweet flavor, well and juicy, with some bitter pine, bread, orange rind, slight spicy pine needles, melon. Full bodied with fine to average carbonation. Quite resinous on the finish, grassy and piney bitterness, bready sugars, ripe and rindy citrus fruits. A good and ballsy DIPA.

Can: Poured a clear amber color ale with a large foamy head with good retention and some good lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops with some earthy hops notes is pleasant enough. Taste is not as sharp on hops as I would have expected with some citrus notes and a lightly sweet malt backbone. Body is about average with good carbonation. Not as much floral hoppy notes as I had expected form a Vermont IIPA. May be due to fact that brewery is only starting.
