Sample pour at brewery. Medium golden, small creamy head. Fruity, citrusy aroma. Taste is hoppy, juicy, zesty.

Dégustée au printemps 2015 (De mes notes). .

Bottle: Poured a copper to light brown with a off white head. Earthy hops aroma. Taste is dank earthy hops.

This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a nice transparency about it. Carbonation could be seen rising at a moderate pace. A thin white little head maintains for about a good minute and gently dissipates.
The smell starts off with some bitter citra hops and gets sweet and has a nice little bit of a caramel malt backbone.
The taste was basically the same. Lingering malty to sweet citra hopped aftertaste and then had a quick dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation runs fairly light. Bitterness strikes appropriately on my tongue.
Overall, its a decent AIPA. But in a sea of fantastic Vermont AIPA’s, would I want this again? Honestly, I don’t really see the need to come back to this.

22 oz. bottle, sent from yourilevesque (thanks a lot, Youri!), pours a hazy dark orange with a medium white head. Aroma is on the malty side for an IPA, with caramel malt, sweet citrus (especially grapefruity), and some resinous hops. Flavour is more on the hoppy side, with fresh piney cones, some herbal hops, a little grassy notes, and a good amount of sweet cereal malt to back. Excellent balance, with a fairly dynamic flavour profile. Really good stuff.

Bomber from Winooski Beverage. Pours a hazy yellow with a thin creamy tan head. Good head retention. Aroma of juicy citrus, zest, pale malt. The taste is grapefruit, orange, zest and pith. Pale malts and a hint of earthiness. Medium bodied, moderate lingering bitterness. Quite nice.

Bottle split at Craft Clerko, thanks to LKS, 30/09/14. Hazed orange amber with a decent off white covering. Nose is skunky hop, bitter orange, straw, mandarin, straw, not a huge amount of depth. Taste comprises mandarin, spice, sweet licks, passionfruit, orange pith, light pine. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, hoppy rinse in the close. Decent enough IPA.
