From the brewery, October 12th 2022, hazy brown colour with a small light-beige head and light creamy lacing. Roasted malt base taste with hints of liquorice and decent hops. Dry finish mouthfeel. The smokiness comes out in the nose with mild oysters. Quite easy going down, so a nice refreshing smoky stout.

Stubby from the brewery from my 2022 Vermont trip, pouring a hazy with tiny particles through it. The head is big, frothy, slightly creamy, white with good retention and leaving some dirty-thick creamy lacing. Grassy-herbal hoppy aromas with citrus hints. The mouthfeel is juicy, fairly thin and not much dryness in the end. Flavours of citrus that are on the mild side. A refreshing, wet Pale Ale with some hoppiness, grassiness all fitting the light style.

Can that pours a slight hazed, golden colour with a frothy-bubbly white head, decent retention leaving some foamy lacing traces. Fresh herbal aromas with some cilantro hints, citrus zest and mild juices. The mouthfeel is juicy with some building dryness in the finish. Some good grassy bitterness in the taste with the light citrus peel. A touch of watermelon does come out to smooth out the bitter side. An interesting Hazy IPA that has a little more bitterness than most.
