Pours golden hazy with a thick white bubbly head. Aroma of grapefruit and hops. Taste is light, nice citrus hop notes, hazy mouthfeel with tropical notes. Palate has residual tropical notes, like a NEIPA. Absolutely should be classified as a NEIPA. Great.

Can in VT. Pours clear orange-gold with a frothy, white head. Nice hop-malt balance, some sun-kissed pale malts, restrained piney bitterness, soft orange notes. Light bodied with average carbonation. Balanced finish, touches of resin, supportive pale malts. Nice to have a hoppy beer that's not an opaque juice bomb.

Can pour into nonic pint glass from The City, Plaistow NH. Appearance is hazy light orange with significant light and dark floaties, fair sparkle, finger-width fizzy white head with poor retention and fair soapy lacing. Aroma is strong pine with citrus and tropical fruits, mild herbs. Taste is citrus dominant early, pine dominant late with tropical fruit more background throughout. Palate is medium bodied with frothy texture, lively carbonation and dry, crisp bittersweet finish. Overall, an above average, refreshing IPA that you'd feel OK about bringing to a party but it doesn't stand out in a crowd.

GBBF Day 1. Cask. A 4.8% US IPA? Just when you think you have seen it all ..... Light haze on this gold beer, small white head. Palate is light and dry. Thin dry malts, modest sweetness. Good orange peel and orange hop. Some peel bitterness. Dry finish. Decent but nothing spectacular.
