Bottle: Poured a clear bright yellow color ale with a nice large pure white foamy head with excellent retention and some good amount of lacing. Aroma of grapefruit juice is just about perfect. Taste is also dominated by fresh grapefruit juice with nice floral undertones, light residual sugar notes and pretty much zero bitterness. Body is about average with good carbonation. Another incredible Vermont IPA!

This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance had a nice hazy bronzed brown to orange color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving a messy sort of foamy white lacing roaming all about.
The smell had an earthy yet bittersweet citrus to piney aspect with a light underscore of caramel malts.
The taste was earthy sweet and the bitterness came across fairly subdued. A light caramel to bitter citrus roamed in the aftertaste and bled into a dry earthy sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat more at a medium on the body with a balance between the sessionable and sipping aspects. The carbonation seemed fine and the bitterness seemed fairly tame.
Overall, wishing there was a bottling date somewhere, still I’d have again.

Draft at The Reservoir. Pours clear gold in a mason jar. The aroma is perfume and fresh floral hops. Mild malt undertone.
Medium body with average Co2. Floral hops dominate the palate like the nose. Some notes of grapefruit, tangerines with the addition of some pine in the finish. Bitterness is rather lengthy and drinks like it is a bit higher in gravity without any kind of alcohol flavor. Pretty nice and straddles the line of a DIPA.

Keg at The Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has lots of flowers, perfume, light bread and orange. Medium sweet flavor with lots more perfume hops, some melon, dry dry bread, grapefruit, slight pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with moderate grassy bitterness, floral hops, some pithy citrus, tangerine. Very nice overall.

A golden IPA with a lacing off white head. In aroma, fragrant fruity malt with citrusy hops, catty and butterscotch. In mouth, a nice fruity malt with catty and floral hops, citrus pulp, nice. On tap at brewery.

Looks like peach juicy. Very cloudy. Champagne bubbles. Clementine and grapefruit nose. Very chewy and dank. Lots of fruit juice. Mouthfeel is a little flat. But the malt chewiness is off putting

Thanks to ThirstyBird for sharing! The beer is orange in the glass, nose is peaches, smooth, fresh. The beer starts very aromatic. Fresh, sticky-resin, pine, intense fruity. The mainpart is slightly sweet, but highly drinkable, pine, hoppy-bitter, intense and smooth-fruity. The aftertaste is long, intense-fruity, great. Very great! --> 12/12/11/12

Draught at the brewery, 2/7/14
Large white head shows good retention, atop a light golden-amber body with high clarity and plentiful carbonation.
Some earthiness combines quickly with the hops, in the nose, which lend oranges, grapefruit and some light grassy/herbal character. Sweet malts finish off the aroma while no alcohol or flaws are noted. A touch of pininess as it warms, perhaps a bit harsh and the earthy, not quite dirty yeastiness never fully leaves.
Strong acidic orange flavor from the hops, with moderately sweet base malts, showing ample attenuation, providing a reasonable body and texture. A bit of lazy carbonation allows the malt sweetness and hop acids to build up on the palate, but the flavors are quite true and pretty clean. Not really an East Coast IPA in the sense that it’s malt driven, but certainly more malty than many.
