Draft taster pour at Powder Keg Beer and Chili Festival. Appearance is cloudy yellow with no sparkle, finger-width fizzy foamy white head with good retention and nice lacing. Aroma is citrus and fruit, vegetal/herb. Taste is orange and pineapple, vegetal more than herbal contribution. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin, smooth texture, soft carbonation and crisp, abrupt finish (better to burn out than fade away). Overall, this has a nice mix of fruit, citrus and herb but it vanishes quickly.

Canned 8/7/17, drunk 8/18/17.
Fully hazy/cloudy, bronze-maize. White head fades quickly to ring.
Mosaic seems quite prominent up-front with a pretty proper showing of cracker/biscuit malt behind it. Add to it some peach and bubble gum and they seem to have checked off all of the boxes here. Resin, as well, is low, with no alcohol or bland/doughy yeast.
Peach-nectarine opens things up, flavor-wise, with a heavy bread-like character and low, mostly engaging carbonation. Expected pine, pineapple and grapefruit join in as it progresses and warms. Gets rather bready and has some "sour" hop character to it. But the texture and attenuation, long a strong point of this brewery, are great. Resin never builds up and no alcohol or flaw is noted.

Chalumeaux with the 16 oz can share! Hazy orange/ straw color, thin head. Aroma shows tropical fruit, sweet malt, and a bit of yeasty notes. The flavor is pine and caramel focused. This is far, I say again, FAR from a New England IPA. Reminds of of a west coast IPA from 1999. Mostly pine with a lot of sweetness. Where is the fruit I found in the aroma?

Poured from can dated 8/17/17 hazy orange with a nice white head. Aromas of citrus floral notes and caramel malt. Taste is somewhat astringent akin to an old school Sierra Nevada IPA. Light fruit semi sweet caramel malt and a lingering bitter finish. Not really a New England IPA unless it's a recipe from 1620.

Pours hazy blood orange into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Dried mango pith aromas.Dry with mango and papaya upfront turning to sharp grapefruit pith in the lasting finish. Easy drinking...
