Got in a BIF from tasterschoice62. 16 ounce can into tulip glass, canned on 3/7/2016. Pours lightly hazy deep golden yellow color with a 2 finger dense and fluffy white head with good retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense soapy lacing clings around the glass. Aromas of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, light honey, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Damn nice aromas with great balance and complexity of bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and light-moderate pale malt notes; with great strength. Taste of big grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange peel, citrus rind, light pepper, pine, light honey, cracker, bread, herbal, and floral/grassy earthiness. Good amount of pine/citrus rind/spicy bitterness on the finish; with lingering notes of grapefruit, tangerine, pineapple, peach, mango, lemon/orange rind, pepper, pine, cracker, bread, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a while. Incredible complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/dank bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance and zero astringent hop flavors after the finish. Good amount of dryness from bitterness as well. Medium carbonation and body; with a very smooth, crisp, sticky/resinous, and lightly grainy/bready balanced mouthfeel that is awesome. Alcohol is very well hidden with minimal warming present after the finish. Overall this is an outstanding IPA! All around awesome complexity, robustness, and balance of bright/dank citrus/tropical/pine hops and light-moderate pale malt flavors; and very smooth, crisp, and easy to drink. A highly enjoyable offering.

Bottle shared at the Christmas party, thanks to whoever brought it. Lightly hazy light golden. Earthy pine and citrus aroma and flavor. Better than I expected, might have to check out more from this brewery!

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is nice yellow pour with mild sparkle, trace head with minimal lacing. Aroma is pine and resin hops. Taste is dominant moderate to heavy pine/resin bitterness. Palate is light bodied with thin texture and very bitter finish. Overall, didn’t get the citrus/floral/grapefruit but otherwise as described: "decidedly bitter palate." Bitter hop heads will really like this but not my cup of tea.

Bottle thanks to Andy. It pours cloudy bright orange with a decent white head. The nose is soft, juicy, sweet citrus, pineapple, orange, peach and bread. The taste is crisp, clean, bitter, floral, peppery spice, grapefruit peel, cracker and bread with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Pretty refreshing and drinks pretty easy.

On tap. Pours a clear orange with a gold hue and a white head that dissipates slowly to the edges and laces. Aroma has a good amount of citrus supported by sweet grains and a hint of grass. Flavor is similar with a bright, slightly bitter citrus note with grass and light sweet grains backing.

At Theadore’s: pours hazy gold with a white head. Aroma is citrus and a light bit of tropical fruit with little backbone in the aroma. Taste is moderately hoppy. Mostly quite fruity. Nice aftertaste. Pretty good IPA.

Pours a hazy copper from a tap. Aroma of freshly used gym shoes pretty much sums it up for me. A syrupy sweet fruity hoppiness, somewhat oily mouthfeel.
