Can at home in Hackney - picked up in Waterbury. Pours quite murky orange-gold with a frothy, pure white head. Lots of fairly simple, dry citrus in the nose, orange pulp, lemon peel. Light sweet flavour, dry and pithy, more orange, moderate rindy bitterness, some pithy grapefruit, dry pale malts. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Pleasant finish, more pithy orange, tangerine, more lemon rind, a little flinty note, mellow bitterness. Enjoyable stuff overall.

good, but disappointing from this brewery. Usually better.

Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance was a milky yellow color with a thin finger’s worth of white foamy head that dissipated at a nice pace. Just a little white valley of a cap of a head sticks around and then slides on out into oblivion in a nice fashion.
The aroma starts off with a sweet to tart strawberry fruitiness up front and then brings in some piney bitterness rolling into a light floral contour. Light wood. Juicy citrus rind at the end.
The flavor dryly moves the sweetness up front from the strawberry. Tartness sits further back. Wood/floral/piney abrasive bitterness seems to cling the aftertaste harshly to the finish, as if they’re one, interesting.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt right. Bitterness hits like an AIPA on my tongue yet, somewhat controlled
Overall, nicely done AIPA in the New England fashion. I would love to have this again.

Canned 4/6/16 and shared by Heather on 5/21/16.
Light haze to the copper-brass liquid with a medium-sized white head that is fully dissipating.
Truly incredible nose shows off strawberry and light raspberry notes. I sniffed this for a good while and I found it highly enjoyable. Very light citrus and vanilla in the background with sparse malts adding just a touch of cracker. There’s a light wood element, some spiciness and more leafy, vegetal green notes. But mostly strawberry. Very cool, very unique. No alcohol or flaw.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t translate at all in to the flavor, instead leaving an earthy, mildly unclean character with definite notes of gasoline. Yeast, bread, cracker, woody notes and a low, slightly loose carbonation. Some mild bitterness, but mostly just a mess of earth, astringency and near gasoline....weird.

16 oz. can with a date of 4/6/2016, thanks HeatherB! Cloudy gold, fast dying head. Aroma is an interesting mingling of berries, grapes. Maybe a herbal hint, almost like spruce.
Flavor is pale malt base, hops are fruity and herbal. Again grapes. Medium in body with a bitterness that is expected. Not bad but pretty average overall.
