Stubby from the brewery from my 2022 Vermont trip, pouring a hazy with tiny particles through it. The head is big, frothy, slightly creamy, white with good retention and leaving some dirty-thick creamy lacing. Grassy-herbal hoppy aromas with citrus hints. The mouthfeel is juicy, fairly thin and not much dryness in the end. Flavours of citrus that are on the mild side. A refreshing, wet Pale Ale with some hoppiness, grassiness all fitting the light style.

Bottle from the Lazy Dog Clear pale golden color with a decent bubbly white head. Earthy resinous pine hops on the nose and flavor. Faint crackery crisp malt underneath. Somewhat like most of the session IPA’s these days, not a bad brew.

On tap at Switchback brewing. Pours out a hazy apricot topped with a fluffy white head. Nose is vegetable floral hops and a nice sweet malt. Taste is more of the floral some grain and a little bitterness on the end.

Hazy yellow Smells quite fruity with mostly juicy oranges. Taste is very much a shandy sort of deal. Orange, citrus and lemon drop. sweetness throughout with just a tad bit of band-aid. creamy and nice spritz mouth feel.

22 oz. bottle. Hazy straw color with soapy head. aroma is hop forward with floral and citrus. The flavor is pretty much a mirror copy of the aroma. Dry texture with light lingering bitterness. Medium pale malt base helps with balance yet is still displays the hops rather well. Pretty solid.
