Draught at the brewery, 3/9/18.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, peachy-golden with a light amber hue. White head atop is small, but shows moderate retention.
Big peach juice, papaya and tangerine in the nose is accompanied by rich honey from the malt and big bursts of grapefruit and orange acidity to balance.
Soft and juicy, very malty, in the mouth with engaging carbonation and pretty good attenuation. They definitely are on to the NE IPA with this one and have achieved the orange-pineapple-mango-papaya character very nicely while also providing plentiful citrus-like bitterness for balance. It gets just a bit twangy and a touch too sweet, by the end of the glass, but still has a soft, juicy character and great flavors. By far my favorite beer of theirs during my visit.

Draught at the brewery, 3/9/18.
Deep auburn, glassy clarity with an off-white head that fades quickly to a ring.
Nose is spicy marmalade and leafy, green, peppery, fresh, wet hops. Lots of specialty malts, with bread crust, brown bread and a hint of buttercream. Very cascade-like; not getting any real Citra-like nuance or pineapple/nectarine/juice. Just spicy citrus and leafy, green, straightforward acidity.
Specialty malt-heavy texture with a touch of light biscuit attempting to soften the blow. Spicy orange rind, lemon and a slight touch of pineapple, but mostly just peppery, green, leafy, spicy citrus. Gets fruitier with warming and there's no flaw or alcohol, but it's a bit light on the interesting hop character (and overall hop character).

Draught at the brewery, 3/9/18.
Glassy, drab brass-to-straw golden. Thin white head fades to cover quickly.
Very lemony in the nose with dry, white grapefruit skin and leafy, peppery, lightly vegetal notes. Cracker-like malts are extremely sparse and grainy. Very dry, yet clean.
Dry in the mouth, very much so (too much so, probably), with a touch of husky biscuit character. Lemon-grapefruit is pretty straightforward and competent, if very unexciting. Fine and drinkable, though and fairly flavorful for its size. Even a touch of juiciness emerges, as it warms.

Draught at the brewery, 3/9/18.
Lightly hazy, copper-brass. Off-white head is small and fades quickly to a ring.
Honey, white bread, yellow fruit and red grapefruit give a pretty standard, old school-ish IPA character that has lots of Amber ale quality to it. It's clean, with no alcohol, but perhaps a bit heavy on the specialty malt.
Soft citrus, lots of honey-like sweetness in the mouth with a very complex array of citrus through the middle. Zesty, peppery carbonation, could be softer. Bit of pine resin and peachy twang on the finish with lots of bread. Good malt texture, though, overall. Competent, fine.

32oz crowler pours with a near clear gold body that supports a thin white head of foam. The mild aroma offers up hints of earthy herbal slightly minty hoppiness and then a spicy anise note. The taste delivers a pleasing load of hop bitterness that's largely herbal as well as a bit of mint and spicy black licorice anise. This creates a nice bitter hoppy blend. The malts provide a mild sweetness and biscuit sensation. Pretty tasty

32oz crowler pours with an opaque straw to dull copper body that supports a thin light tan head of foam. The modest aroma offers up a blend of danky spicy hops, soft cantaloupe and then muted strawberry and mint. The taste delivers soft cantaloupe that quickly ramps into firm levels of bitter spicy, grassy, a bit green bell pepper hops and then danky spicy hoppiness. Another few sips and a thin layer of strawberry and mint are revealed. As it warms notes of pineapple and pink grapefruit are noticed that create a modest hop bitterness. Fun beer that teases with a soft sweet NE style IPA juiciness but quickly and refreshingly builds in hop bitterness. I like it.

32oz growler pours with a clear copper body that supports a nice light tan head of foam. The aroma offers up spicy hops, earthy tea, some citrus hops and then crystal malts. The taste delivers a pleasing blend of grassy hops, earthy tea like hops, some floral and then a dash of citrus. It’s all so well integrated with snippets of malt sweetened flavor hops riding up against a firm degree of various bitter hop notes. Well done.

Sampled at GABF. Pours a hazy gold with medium white head that lasts. The aroma is faint peach, wheat, cereal. Medium body, yeast, cereal, peach, boozy finish, decent.

Growler pours with a clear gold body that supports a near white head of foam. The aroma offers up inviting tangerines, peach, a dash of guava and then a faint sense of malts. The taste delivers a juicy tangerines, peach, guava and then bitter pink grapefruit. Toward midway it picks up bitter spicy and bitter candied pineapple. Heading toward the finish the soft sweet pils malts show up and really pull this thing together. Solid offering with citrus, tropical notes and a well integrated pilsner maltiness.

Appearance - 8 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 6 | Overall - 6.5
On tap at The Perch, pours a hazy orange amber with a small beige head. Aroma brings out lots of resinous hops and subdued lemongrass. Flavour is sweet and malt-heavy, with lots of sticky resinous hops and chewy sweet caramel malt. Only subtle lemongrass comes through. Too malty and sweet for a IIPA for my taste, but it's well done for what it is.
