4 oz. draft at the source. Three of the IPA’s in the flight had exactly the same appearance. The aroma had mild fruit but it was mostly grass and earthy pine. The flavor was very bitter, minor balance. Grassy and pine influenced with assertive, lasting bitterness. Medium in body. Enjoyed it a good amount.

Can: Poured a cloudy pale yellow color ale with a medium size foamy head with OK retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy floral undertones with some light tropical fruits with some light dry bitter notes. Taste is a mix of citrusy floral undertones with some light tropical notes, some residual sugar with quite a dry bitter finish. Body is full with good carbonation. A lot more bitter then style usually call for.

Tall can (thx, Eric D.!) shared with George. Canned on 2017-09-13. Pours a cloudy slightly dirty gold with huge white head. Aroma is tropical fruits. Taste is crazy juicy with tropical fruits and piney bitterness. Surprisingly it is very dry at the same time. Very intetesting.

Can. 9.0%. Very hazy, pale gold. Clingy, thin, bubbly, white head. Boozy legs. Nose has woody pineapple. Lemony grain. Not a lot in between. Maybe some tinned strawberry. Taste is chewy sweet. Gets oily bitter. A tad boozy. Fullish mouthfeel. Slightly boozy, sticky bitter finish. Ok.

Treated as a DIPA, I poured my can into a tulip. The appearance with a hazy burnt orange to yellow color and a thin little white head that dissipated immediately. Messy strewn about lacing but stays together.
The aroma leads with a blend of sweet oats/graininess. Subtle clean sweet tobacco, then papaya, mango and clementine. Grassy hops shoulder the arrangement of everything else to balance.
The flavor takes the oaty sweetness to blend with the tropical flavors nicely. Tobacco leaf freshness assists in leveling out the flavor. No aftertaste but finishes crisp and compelling with some tobacco leaf dryness.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation feels good. Oats smooth things out in the feel.
Overall, really nice DIPA that is quite different than expected. Everything is there for the style but just takes some oats to smooth it out yet some tobacco leaf dryness to make it Burlington’s.
