Tap at Alvy’s. Slightly hazy golden-amber pour with bubbly white head. Aroma is sweet sweet pineapple with some background pine. Taste follows, with a slightly dank bitterness behind the pineapple. Incredibly sweet but not cloying in either aroma or taste. On the edge. Smooth maltiness. Very nice.

Can from Chalumeaux, tanks for the opportunity! Slightly hazy light golden color with a huge tightly bubbled white head that lasts forever. Juicy citrus just drips from the nose of this one. A bit of bready biscuity malt breaks through mow and again. Pretty damn tasty IPA. Thanks TJ

16 oz. can dated 4-27-17. can traded by Chalumeaux. Thanks for looking out, Bright hazy golden color, some lasting head retention. Aroma is full of fruits; oranges, tangerine, may tropical hints. Mild malt character.
the flavor shows pine in addtion to the fruits. the bready and caramel notes are low. I could see this getting to much sweetness if it sat for any length. However, that is not the case here. Pretty well balanced. Maybe a bit yeasty. Altogether it is nice, the mildy danky pine really pulls everything together in the end.

Draught at Ginger Man Boston, 3/31/17.
Lightly hazy, copper-golden body with an off-white head that is small and shows moderate retention.
Fruity hops mix with somewhat more austere citrus. Goofy chinook add spice, tea, grapefruit and earth with the colombus doing its pine-grapefruit thing. Malts show a touch of caramel, light bread and there’s a touch of dough in there, as well.
Bready, earthy, with heavy grapefruit rind and a slight reprieve of honey and caramel-like malts with a bit of juicy citrus, on the finish. Low, somewhat loose carbonation and more bitterness than expected. Either this was just old, or their flagship IPA is an East Coast IPA style that was prevalent (and pretty bad) 10 years or so ago. Weird and confusing.
Will certainly grab a can soon and rerate.

Poured from can dated 4/27/17 nice hazy orange with a thin white head. Aromas of tangerine and orange floral notes light caramel malt. Taste is nice big mouthfeel but medium in texture light sweetness from the malt not overpowering balanced citrus and mild resin in the finish. Well crafted.

Pint can a friend bought over from NY. Light orange color, hazed, big thick creamy white head, good persistence, nice lacing. Massive tangerine/orange smell. Aroma is a bang of hops, resin all over the place, coriander, tangerine, pineapple, pine, tropical fruit and herbal notes. Malt backing is very solid and clean. Quite big mouthfeel, while body is medium. Taste intensely bitter, well balanced, a bit salty. Average carbonation, finish is tasty, long, fairly dry, wrapping, bitter. Very nice, very nice and lovely.

Bottleshare at Leighton’s Gaff. Thanks to LKS. The canned hoppy hits keep on coming! Light haze on this gold beer, good pale cream colour head. Palate is airy and semi dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Airy malts bring a light creamy sweetness. Thin but decent hops - fresh orange and mild tangerine. Light hop spice into smooth floralness. The fresh orange and tangerine return to round out the light finish. Tasty.

Can split at Bespin, thanks to Lando Smith, 08/12/16. Golden amber with a well appointed off white cap. Nose is caramel malt, melon, citric kissed straw, orange peel, hop tunes. Taste comprises pissy citric shreds, mandarin, light spice, pine needle, orange pith. Medium bodied, fine carbonation, semi drying close with a juicy hop rinse. Respectable IPA.

Can from the brewery, 12/14/16. Clear orange pour with a frothy beige head. Aroma is grassy hops, some pale malts, orange zest, and some buttery notes as well. Drinks fairly bitter, with somewhat of a diacetyl flavor as well. Medium body, average carbonation. Okay, but that buttery thing is hard to get past. Just stops me from enjoying the other components as much, which are all solid.
