Our brewers developed this recipe for more than a year; playing around with yeast strains and hop combinations in search of a smooth, juicy offering that pleases palates. With VT IPA they found the perfect balance of tropical fruit and citrus flavors through a heavy dry-hopping of Citra and Amarillo hops, which give distinct tangerine, mango, pineapple and grapefruit character.
The juicy hop profile is complemented by the grist, which features a heavy hand of flaked oats and aromatic Munich malt to deliver a smooth mouthfeel and hazy appearance. What sets this beer apart --aside from the soft bitterness-- is the introduction of a new yeast strain that provides the beer with more neutral notes and juicy esters that enhance the hops.
Enjoy it fresh, enjoy it often.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from Greg & Jane's Beer and Wine. Appearance is cloudy, dark yellow-light brown with a few chunks of dark sediment, HUGE sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and no lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, pine, milder tropical fruit, bit of grass. Taste is citrus, pine and tropical fruit as aroma, light malt character at finish. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, average carbonation and balance of sweet, juicy finish with some bitter pine. Overall, not the strongest aroma and flavor but a fair NEIPA. Reminds a bit of Sam Adams' NEIPA.
