Thanks for the crowler, Henry!
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a burnt golden color with a slight transparency about it. Some carbonation could be seen ever so slightly rising to fill a quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Not much lace.
The aroma had some sweet danky onion, light citrus and a little bit of sharp bitter pine. Low malt quality - really subtle.
The flavor was moderately sweet through the previously mentioned aromas. Bitterness did find it’s way into the overall taste fairly nice. The aftertaste was fully blended. Finish was danky sweet and bitter pine.
The feel was about medium bodied, perhaps slightly under with a clean sessionability about it. Good carbonation. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, pretty nice APA worthy of having again.

Thanks for the crowler, Mike!
Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a copper color with a cap of a little white head. Moderate speckled lace.
The aroma was semi-juicy bitter citrus rind, low tropical fruit. Ends up getting sweeter as it opens up.
The flavor takes the juiciness to allow a fairly smooth yet challenging bittersweetness flow right on into the aftertaste and right on into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with clean semi-smooth sort of pillowy feel on my tongue. Low carbonation. ABV felt just a tad under than what was projected.
Overall, for the most part, this was a pretty good DIPA that I could have again.

At the source: pours amber with white head. Aroma is pine and malt. Taste is fairly bitter and piny. Not bad. harkens back to an IPA style that has since gone out of fashion.

Bottle at home I grabbed from brewery while in area. Dusty dirty blonde small filmy head. Nose is tart citrus and some sweet melon. Tastes of honey dew, lemon, lime, buddahs hand, grass, candy, wood. Little lemonade like but refreshing enough.

After boat ride from hell in way back from Block Island was feeling green and needed something to settle my stomach and figured a quick pint would do the trick. Hazed orange gold pour small head. Nose barnyard and some fruit. Tastes of hay, pomegranate, apricot, grass, some light yeast. Decent enough.
