The eigth of our IPA series with Vermont Ale Yeast. I know we say this every time, but this one is the juiciest/most aromatic to date (literally, we say it every time). Heavily dry hopped with Simcoe, Summer, Crystal, & Bitter Gold.
More towards pine-spectrum than v.7 - but still has the tropical intensity typical of our IPAs. [Green label with blue logo & text]

Bottle - Touch of pith and fleshy orange. Cloudy gold with a decent white head. Nice light citrus and some light peel. Not bad.

Tasting at Matt’s
Hazy blond color. Very nice aroma, mandarin, mango, white grapes, apples. Dry mouthfeel, but with good body strength; it has a quite good malt backbone, with juicy fruity hops, peach, hop resins, and a long final,
Excellent, fresh IPA.

Slight haze. Light amber. Very nice orangey aroma with an attractive pale malt note. Sweet - the pale malts are exceptional. The orangey character is delicious, and there’s a hint of grapefruit. Almost herbal in the finish, with good body and a touch of alcohol. Quality.

500mL bottle, sent from wilco (thanks a lot, Mike), pours a cloudy golden with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tropical fruits upfront, with lots of melon, pineapple, mango, and piney hops. Flavour is quite dry and bright, with lots of tropical fruity melon, piney hops, and dry biscuity malt. Nice fruity astringency on the finish. Very nice.
