Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: golden yellow transparent color with a finger's worth of white foamy head, subtle lace after dissipation
Aroma: a little bit of malts in front of some piney hops
Flavor: maltier than expected, the piney hops seem more muted here, definitely a malty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, some sessionability about it, malty finish with a little bit of piney hops
Overall: not exactly an AIPA I would want to return to immediately, maybe if this recipe was tweaked a bit more.

Can pour shared by ClarkVV--thanks, Clark! Hazy golden yellow with ring of head. Aroma is citrus and pine. Taste is citrus and pine. Smooth, thin texture, soft carbonation and finish as taste. Piney and citrusy. Not what you'd expect from an NEIPA; not amazing for traditional or west coast either.

16 oz can. Thank you ClarkVV on the share. Aroma is light pine, soft malt, spruce. The flavor is more of a West Coast interpretation of the style rather than New England.

Undated can, drunk 1/20/24. Clear, very light amber. Frothy, white head, modest retention. Lemon, green spice, cracker, somewhat sparse. A bit light and peppery. Not very much personality. A bit of onion, some pine, lots of biscuit, hard grapefruit and light malt sweetness. Pretty austere...sugary though. Weird. What a bizarre contract brew situation.
Thanks Clark.

On tap at the brewery. Pours hazy glowing orange. Orange juice, orange zest, pine, peach rings, apricot. Medium body. Solid.
