Share of a large can brought back from Vermont (thanks to Rian). A hazy golden/yellow coloured pour with a medium white head on top. Hoppy, malty, citrus, tropical fruit on the nose. Tastes hoppy, malty, citrus, tropical fruit, hint of caramel and mango. Nice Vermont DIPA, will seek this one out on my next visit to New England.

Can pour into shaker pint glass from Andover Liquors. Appearance is lightly hazy, golden yellow with greenish tinge, nice sparkle, finger-width foamy, off-white head with fair retention and spotty soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pine over milder tropical fruit and citrus, earthy resin. Taste is strong pine, milder citrus and late mango. Palate is medium bodied with smooth, thick texture, average-to-lively carbonation, pleasant alcohol warmth and mix of sweet and bitter finish. Overall, pine dominant with some sweet citrus and tropical fruit to balance the bitter--wouldn't have guessed that many IBU. Good.

Poured from can thanks Ben Yelle dated 3/1/18 Sax Scrapers juocy orange with a nice fluffy white head. Aroma is candied orange floral hops light grain and pine. Taste is balanced not overly sweet juicy orange mango light floral hops with a light pine bitterness in the finish. Very crushable.

Pours from the can a hazy copper color with a medium white head that diminishes steadily to an outer ring. Partial rings of lace. The aroma consists of tropical fruit, herbal hops and malt. Medium body with flavors of zesty citrus, floral hops and malt. The finish is moderately bitter with a citrusy hop aftertaste. Pretty good all around.
