16oz can at home. Pours a slightly deep amber gold almost orange tinted, medium off white head. Nose is some citrus, red fruit, caramel. Flavour is bready malts, floral hops, grapefruit citrus, orange pith.

Canned 10/23/17, drunk 11/13/17.
Orange-copper color seems a bit darker than usual for a NE IPA (or a WC IPA, for that matter). Small, off-white head recedes to ring fairly steadily.
Melon, potpourri, other random floral and perfume notes baffle the senses. What the hell is going on here? I get the melon and/or watermelon must be the yeast strain they've chosen, but this smells almost as if they've added lavender, grains of paradise and elderflower.
In the mouth it's lightly spicy with quite a bit of caramel-like specialty malt character. This leads to a dull, bland, watery finish. Undermalted, thin, no softness/depth of malt. Even with more warming/breathing, the extent of flavors I get is mild melon, mild bitterness and light butter. Some light astringency, as well. Yikes.

Pours a slightly cloudy dark straw from a tap. Floral in the nose, flavor is oddly like vomit. Not my thing.
