Can (4/22/20) pour from Tuckaway Tavern, Raymond. Appearance is opaque yellow-orange (orange juice dead ringer) with light sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width foamy white head with good retention and light leopard-spot lacing. Aroma is strong citrus, tangerine, apricot. Taste follows aroma; citrus dominant. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation, mild alcohol warmth as it warms and crisp, fairly dry finish as taste with lingering mild bitterness. Overall, perfect look, aroma is stronger and more interesting than taste and it's a bit overcarbonated. But, it's very well made.

This beer is top, much like these Blues 90's throwback jerseys.

Can. Craft Beer Cellar, Waterbury, VT. Fairly dark, slightly dirty gold. Fine white head is lasting and semi lacing. Nose has tinned peaches. Vanilla ice cream. Peaches and vanilla ice cream. That’s about the size of it. Taste is a little sweet, and peachy (naturally), with a decent hit of juicy hop bitterness. Medium body. Fine carbonation. A little drying, surprisingly. Moderate hop bitterness to finish. Delivers what it promises.

Tap. Reservoir, Waterbury, VT. Holy balls, it’s my last night in VT and it’s all gone fucking wonky. The strip steak in here is awesome. The beer I have in my hand may or may not be the one I’m supposed to be rating. It’s sweet and stick as fuck.,

Tap. Blackback Pub, Waterbury, VT. Almost clear, medium gold. Fine white head is lasting and fully lacing. Nose has gummy fruit. Pine sap. Sweet grain. Taste is pretty sweet, with a nicely robust, piny bitterness. Medium body. Oily and quite sticky. Fine carbonation. Lingering bitterness to finish. Nice one. Feels a bit old school.

Can shared in London - picked up in the US. Pours unclear yellow-gold with a creamy, white head. Pithy grapefruit abounds, with lemon rind, dried pale malts. Medium to full bodied with fine carbonation. Lovely, fresh pithy citrus finish. Great DIPA.

Bottleshare at Craft Islington. Can. Big thanks to LKS. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Smooth palate, semi dry, decent fine carbonation. Smooth malts, a light creamy sweetness. Smooth light pine. Little fresh orange and mild lemon. Modest tropical fruits. Light smooth piney finish. Nice but lacks that hop edge of the best.
