750mL growler filled 10/14/16 and shared by Blisscent on 10/21/16.
Strong haziness to this drab, bronze-golden body. White head atop is full and shows good retention.
Citrus in the nose is followed by softer tropical fruits. Peachy and mango-heavy, it returns to the citrus on the finish, lending white grapefruit and lemon. Cracker and biscuit malts behind are quite sparse and there is only a touch of honey for sweetness. Clean and with no alcohol. Maybe a touch of light, grapefruit-like resin.
Very dry with a soft, malty texture and with grainy, biscuity notes and wheat softness as well. The citrus outdoes the juicier tropical notes, and there’s a bit of huskiness on the finish. Nectarine, mango, grapefruit and orange dominate, with moderate bitterness and tons of dry grapefruit rind character. A bit more malt sweetness would work wonders here. Low, slightly loose carbonation and no alcohol or flaw.

Growlette share with a buddy.
I poured mine into a tulip.
The appearance was a ruddy burnt orange color with a sustaining finger’s worth of white foamy head. Gently dissipates, low stringy lace.
The aroma starts off with grapefruit bitterness punching some extra citrus rind bitterness but then opens up with some grapefruit pulpy sweetness. Sly mango seems pretty low but there.
The flavor softly brings it together nicely. Gentle sweet grapefruit juiciness and then touches the finish nicely.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation seems good. Enough bitterness as a DIPA, hidden booziness.
Overall, another nicely done DIPA by Burlington’s hidden gem of a brewery (well, at this rate, they won’t be a hidden gem too much longer).
