Draught at the brewery, 5/21/16.
A nice, rich, copper-orange glass of soup with a small but firm white head atop.
Yep, this is the stuff! Juice galore with a lovely, fresh yeast adding light minerality and esters, with cracker-like maltiness in the background. Pear, guava, mango and dry pineapple, with only a touch of grapefruit and no pine or resin. No alcohol or flaw.
Dry but with tight carbonation and high attenuation being offset by a malty texture and light rye chewiness. Pineapple and mango with softer guava and tangerine notes. Fantastically juicy with low but still ample bitterness. Lots of minerals, plaster and light earth show a charming yeast and water, as well. No alcohol or flaw. Another top-notch, wonderfully flavorful NE IPA!

Sampled at the brewery. 5/21/2016. Pours a hazy light yellow with thick white head, excellent lacing. Aroma is floral and citrus hops, some orange.
Taste is more of the same, minimal malts, hoppy and clean. Nice citrus notes on the tongue. Maybe a touch of black pepper. Orange rind bitterness that is balanced by a modest grain bill. Mouthfeel is crisp. Gosh, I need to start telling people about this brewery. Very nicely made ales.

Sampled at the brewery. 5/21/2016. Bright yellow color. Aroma is bold: beautiful citrus hops (orange, grapefruit, citrus pith) with pale grain and light floral notes.
Flavor is sweet malt up front with some great popping citrus hop character. Lots of nice juicy citrus hints throughout the sip. Lighter to medium in body with a nice level of bitterness. Nothing is overdone here. Very refreshing Imperial IPA.

A very light yellow color. Smells amazing. Loads of juicy citrus. Just smells really good. The mouthfeel is lacking a real filling essence. There is a sweetness at the finish. Lots of oranges, grapefruit, kiwi and even some mango. Tasty. Just would like more carb.

Light brown, reddish edged and slightly hazy. The aroma is great. Distinctively a brown ale. You do get a small sweetness. Maple feels weak. Maple certainly present in taste sweet without being too creamy. A more bitter brown ale than I was expecting

Hazy golden. 4 finger white head Really good clove and peppery aroma with a little orange peel. Good delicate mouthfeel. Orange peel, tannic acidic bitterness with a little chalky taste as well. Finishes dry. Maybe a little sugar there.

64 ounce growler, very hazy orange, 1 finger white head. Looks really pretty in the glass like lemonade. Lemon cake, mmmmm and a lot of orange juice fills the nose. Really spritzy, seltzer water mouthfeel. Juicy, a little bit of sweetness here with some cracker and peach skin. A lot of pine at the finish.

64 oz. growler, thanks to Adamchandler. Massive hazy on this IPA. Aroma is awesome... Big citrus, big citrus, maybe tropical fruit and light grass.
The flavor is nice, grass, tropical fruit, citrus peel upfront with a moderate malt bill. Pale malts with a very moderate bitterness. Dry texture with medium body. The Brewer did a nice job here.

64 ounce growler picked up yesterday. Stored cold, split a few ways w/ some RBers
A - Really good appearance. Hazy burnt orange, a 2 finger creamy head, not sticky lacing at all.
S - Aroma is fairly predictable. Juicy, NZL hop profile, with a bit of grape skins, nectarine, peaches, pineapple. smells fantastic.
T - The hop profile here...well it’s a single hop which means you’re going to get the great and the crap. It starts off great, that initial bitterness is great then it fades to a very resin-heavy orange-rind yuck. It’s great if you’re really into a west coast style IPA. The malt backbone is heavily complimentary. A touch of table sugar, caramel, pretty impressive.
M - Decent mouthfeel. It lacks that dryness that I as a part time beer drinker have come to expect but truthfully, it’s not lacking in style, just lacking on what I’ve come to expect...my fault, not that of the brewery
O - Overall, I could have 2-3 pints before I could get tired of it.
