Can: Poured a golden color ale with a medium size foamy head with some retention and some lacing. Aroma of citrusy hops notes with some dry bitter notes. Taste is also a mix of citrusy hops notes with a medium bitter finish. Body is about average with good carbonation. English style IPA with medium level of bitterness.

Sampled at the brewery. Pours a lightly hazy gold with some creamy, lacey white head. West coast all the way, soap and hop, grapefruit, honey. Flavor is citrus and honey and soap. Medium bodied, dry and zippy on the finish.

Draught at the brewery, 9/15/17.
Mostly clear, light chill haze, soft blonde-golden with a small white head atop showing moderate to moderately-low retention.
Very soft yellow fruits in the nose mix with light grain; cereal, vanilla, honey and biscuit. Nectarine, melon, peach and even a pinch of juicy orange with no resin or flaw. It's certainly not bursting with juicy, tropical, lush hops a la mode, but it also isn't some garbage "2007 called, it wants its IPA back" mess.
Soft again in the mouth, fairlly malty though it's all pale malt and creates layers of honey and soft biscuit. Lightly fruity, lightly juicy hops show lime, melon, orange and a touch of peach-apricot. Fairly good attenuation and low, somewhat loose "brewpub" carbonation. If you're not going to make a NE IPA, do what they did here, instead of trying to jam as many PNW bittering hops in to the boil as you can.

Draft at Moat Mountain Smoke House & Brewing Co in N Conway, NH. Hazy pale yellow color with a white head and good lacing. Hoppy but not overly bitter like most IPAs. Eh.

Can at home in London - picked up in Waterbury, VT. Pours clear gold, lightly effervescent, with a foamy, white head. The aroma holds lightly faded pine, orange peel, subtly toasted crackers. Light sweet flavour with further crackery pale malts, light bitter pine needles and citrus rind. Light bodied with average carbonation. Finishes with more of the same - dry crackers, pale malts, light grassy bitterness, subtle pine and rindy citrus. Drinkable stuff.

can dated 07/07/16.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy ruddy burnt orange/almost amber color with a thin white finger’s worth of head laying around the glass. Filmy white lacing.
The smell started off with a nice earthy spice riding into some nice bready malty backbone.
The flavor pretty much is the same as the smell - subtle earthy spice to active grassy sweetness. Nice combined sweet to subtle spice in the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable feel about it. Carbonation rides nicely at a good pace.
Overall, this was a nice IPA, somewhat leaning to the English style. For me, I could have again.
