Can: Poured a hazy/cloudy orangey color ale with a large white foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hoppy notes with some floral hops undertones and some light resinous hops notes. Taste is also a good mix of citrusy hoppy notes with some floral hops undertones notes, some resinous hops notes and a semi-dry and lightly bitter finale. Body is full for style with good carbonation. Enjoyable NEIPA with nice resinous floral hops notes.

From tap at Carmine Street Beers, New York. Big oniony dank hop aroma with tropical fruits, citrus, herbalish weeds, grainy malt, grapefruit, fruit peel, pine resin. Medium bitter and mild sweet. Tastes like the original Vermont dankness, without being overhopped like so many recent copycats. Balance!

CD: 10/39/2024. Pours a turbid deep golden body and a dense, rocky off-white head with long retention. Aroma's: dank hops from thecan, once in the glass it's dank, resinous, and soft tropical fruit (mango, apricot). Retronasal it's quite resinous, but there's also some juicy sourness. Flavour is above moderate bitter with light sweet fruits (rather than malts). (Light) medium bodied. Some warming alcohol, which makes it seem stronger than 6%, but the label doesn't mention the ABV. Long fairly bitter finish.

Can at home, 18th February 24, gifted from Andy at Elusive, bought from the HF Brewery. Thanks Andy ! Pours a dark orange, large white frothy head. Aroma is resinous pine, floral, citrus pith, hints of tropical fruit. Taste is resinous pine, spuce, pith, marmalade, moderate bitterness, very well balanced, so drinkable, delicious bittersweet finish with linger. Sublime

Tap @ Hill Farmstead. Hazy golden orange appearance, moderate white head. Light malty orangey tropical aroma. Soft, light mouthfeel but seems to be served a touch too cold.. expected more pronounced NZ and northwest hop notes to come through, but unfortunately feels a touch empty. Comes out of its shell a little as it warms but otherwise disappointing.

Keg at Beer Run, NYC, 12/04/23. Hazed orange with an off white cap that dissipates to a swirl. Nose is bitter orange, dank tones, grass, grapefruit, papaya. Taste comprises mango flesh, hop spice, pine resin, ripe melon, tangerine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close spliced with juicy come resinous. Hops from the top drawer ... juicy, vibrant and superbly balanced, the kind of beer that makes me sad to be a ticker ... could have drank a whole lot of this juan.
