Reviewed from notes.
Bottle to English pint glass.
Appearance: semi-bright yellow to copper color with a finger's worth of white foamy head which dissipated nicely to leave some light lace
Aroma: bright mixed citrusy to piney to lemony to orange-rind to subtle mango-like hoppy tones; clean crackery/biscuity malts
Flavor: meshes the prior noted aromas to a fine bitter to bittersweet sort of quality; finishes smooth through mixed citrusy to piney and lemony hop tones
Texture: light to medium bodied, sessionable; some smoothness and a subtle nip of hop spice but that didn't bother me
Overall: what a nice AIPA I would have again.

500mL bottle. Pours hazy light gold with a white head. Dank oils and melon on the nose. Flavour has dank oils, juicy melon, lots of tropical fruit; hop expression is nice but very subdued. Pretty full-bodied. The hop expression is very oily and resinous, but felt a bit lacking in intensity.

Very interesting - does it sit somewhere between hazy and west coast? It has a slight haze in the glass. Nose is big on fresh hops, a lot of tropical fruit going on there, flavor too. Semi-sweet malts, biscuity. Medium bitterness. Lingering citrus rind in the aftertaste with some mineral notes in the bitterness. The soft carbonation, hazy appearance, and gentle nature of this beer make me think hazy/NE, but the wack of bitterness makes me think west coast. Doesn't really matter, its quite good. Can from Upsala Market, Sanford FL

Golden color with white head. Citrus and pine. Some maltiness in there, pretty well balanced and enjoyable. Doing good without haze.

10 oz draft at Maine Beer Company in Freeport, Maine. The pour is a slight haze of golden orange with a white foamy head with lace. The aroma is fresh hop, though somewhat subdued resin. The taste is resin floral hop and a nice clean cereal grain base. The palate is light to medium bodied with active carbonation and dry, mineral finish. Really nice one.

Bottling date October 8, 2024. Pours a light hazy golden body and a big, firm off-white head with loooong retention. Aroma's: big lovely resin from the bottle and glass, pine needles, light malt. Retronasal it's sweetish, citrus-fruity, resinous. Flavour is light malty sweet and light moderate bitter. Medium bodied. Rather high, but soft carbonation. Bitterness develops in the finish, rather delicate.
