On tap at the Vermont NanoFest, pours a hazy pale yellow with creamy white head. Nose is ok, fruity, key lime, guava, perfume. Flavor is sweet with citrus and orange, some guava and passion fruit, a little perfume and honey. Finishes bitter, oily. Solid.

Growlette share with Doug. Reviewed from notes.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a soft golden yellow color with a quarter finger’s worth of white foamy head that fell off at a moderate pace. Light speckled lace.
The aroma had some citrusy to floral zesty hops up front, fairly bold encasing the malt backbone somewhat firmly.
The flavor leaned towards the zestiness initially and ended up blending fairly nice and clean with some doughy malts. Aftertaste was all about the citrusy and floral hops but wasn’t overbearing. Quick zesty hop finish.
The feel was just under medium bodied with a fair sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good and proportionate to the ABV.
Overall, pretty nice AIPA that I’d have again. Too bad these guys aren’t closer to me. I’d try their stuff more often.

Poured into an English pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt pale muddy orange color. Sly little white foamy head quickly dissipates and leaves a slight lace.
The aroma had some pale malts weaving into a biscuit/bready maltiness. Grassy hops hit against some tobacco leafiness and then a subtle floral quality with a slight leathery dryness.
The flavor performs with the previously mentioned aromas with a slight cereal sort of taste running in for a nice balance. Sly floral to tobacco and malty aftertaste with the same sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a slight sessionability about it. Moderate carbonation. Good ABV - naturally felt.
Overall, everything is on par for this American brewer to create a good EPA that I could have again, preferably with some fish n’chips.

A buddy grabbed a growlette for an afternoon share before I become a Monday thru Friday working stiff.
Here’s the rest.
This was poured into a becher pint glass with a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white to off white foamy head. Light lacing.
The aroma takes a big roasty/robust maltiness flowing nicely into big deep rich milk and dark chocolate. Vanilla bean clenches some stickiness gripping the robust portions nicely to balance.
The flavor lends a hand to some sticky chocolatey notes with the robust and roasty malts hitting against the vanilla bean nicely. Sticky malty notes with roastiness slides into aftertaste and sticks in the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionable smooth feel laying down the law of roasty bitterness on my tongue. Feels good as an American porter.
Overall, nice American styled porter that I could come back to. Good aroma and flavor for the most part. Yes, slightly sticky in the feel, but acceptable for the most part.
