stovepipe can. Pours a translucent copper color with a medium white head that has fair retention and ample lacing. The aroma is strong with fresh oranges and tangerines. The taste is pine resins, oranges, grapefruit and melons. The palate is full and viscous. Finishes long and dry. Overall: Very nice, paired superbly with some manchego cheese.

Pours a hazy amber with a huge white head. Aroma of citrus, tropical fruit. Taste has well balanced hop bite, along with a really delicate fruity, floral note, and good malt base. Palate has soft hop elements, phenolic elements on the nose, some lemon. Excellent.

Can from The Davis Beer Shoppe. Pours clear copper/amber with a large foamy beige head. Aroma of pine and mixed fruits. Approaching full bodied. A carbonation thing. Flavor is pine, weed dank, pale stone fruits, green melon. Mildly roasty malt support. Not even so roasty as SNPA. Not dry, but slightly astringent. Very bitter, but not burningly so. Excellent flavor.

Can from the smoke shop in Goffstown. Deep gold with a hint of haze. Heavy pine resin and light berry tropical fruity notes. Light alcohol notes and candy sweetness in the finish. Pretty Tasty

12 oz from a variety pack. Four and a half months old. Aroma has notes of cantaloupe, peach, pine, flowers, citrus rind. Pours hazy orange-golden with a one+ finger cream-white head with excellent retention, leaving lava lamp lacework. Taste is light to moderately bittersweet, finishing dry. Perfectly carbonated creamy mouthfeel. Solid, but unremarkable.

Bottle, Food Loin. Clear medium gold with a good-sized off-white head. Nose is peach, juicy tropical fruit, pine, citrus. Pine, grapefruit peel, light topical fruit, melon, resin. Must more West Coast, but with a hint of NE flavors - however, just mainly dulling the bitterness.
