Poured into a becher pint glass, the appearance had a soft hazy off yellow color. Just a soft white foamy cap of a head sat atop the beer. Lasted for a good minute before gently dieing off. Messy filmy lace.
The aroma had some sweet to bitter citrus rind and pulp. Seems to open up more towards white grapefruit. Subtle lemon juice and rind follows in nicely.
The flavor grips the bitter citrus rind nicely but still in a balanced soft semi-sweet manner allowing this one to counter possible excessive AIPA qualities that this one almost conveys. Still, the aftertaste takes the bitter citrus rind qualities to slide into a sweet balanced malt. Blended citrus rind to pulp finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a good sessionability about. Carbonation feels somewhat light allowing a bigger bitterness to hit. Stickiness is controlled.
Overall, for the most part, a mainly good APA that I could come back to. Almost AIPA in stature, but worthy of more pours.

16 oz. can thanks to Willrunforbeer. Huge citrus, mild tropical fruits on the aroma. Flavor is peach fuzz, apricot, grapefruit rind, and orange peel. Mild bitterness and a surprisingly mellow caramel malt bill. The caramel is notable bit will come out after a few weeks sitting. Drinks lighter than the gravity. Still real nice!

Bottled, from Healthy Living, Burlington. Lightly hazy golden, mid sized head. Tangerine and passionfruit up front. Mid dry with medium body and well rounded mouthfeel. Fruity with lots of citrus and mango. Long bitter finish. Well made citrusy IPA with good drinkability.

Poured into a tulip, the appearance was a dark brown close to black color with a thin off white foamy head that dies off at a good pace to leave a film rolling all around.
The aroma starts off with a huge sweet maple syrup flowing into nutty sweet brown ale notes. Moderate amount of caramel and toffee notes.
The flavor moderates between the caramel and toffee sweet malts to the maple syrup sweetness. Nice roastiness hits with a little bit of toast and cake. Lingers into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it, surprisingly enough. Doesn’t seem like 7.9% and this also is a fresh batch too. Carbonation seems good, but there is some stickiness to it.
Overall, perhaps closer to an English strong ale or porter. Doesn’t seem like there’s enough hops for it to be American styled. But still a highly enjoyable offering.

Poured into a snifter, the appearance was a nice looking black color. It poured like motor oil. A finger’s worth of off-white to almost tan sort of head slowly escaping nicely to form some concave lace sliding on into the beer.
The aroma had a superb amount of thick rugged milk chocolate flowing into sweet black strap molasses. Cocoa powder, dark chocolate nibs, and then roasty coffee beans.
The flavor blended extremely well between the roast to the sweet melding the molasses to the chocolate, milky with a cherished semi-spiced little bit of a sticky bite rolling on into the aftertaste and leaving a little bit of a sticky sweet sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with a good sipping quality about it. Moderate carbonation feels good for the most part. Acceptable stickiness.
Overall, a very well done imperial stout by Foley Brothers.

Pours hazy gold into a tulip. White head with medium retention recedes to nothing. Hot caramel and resin aromas. Hot with caramel and bread upfront turning to warming grapefruit and dusty resin in the lasting finish.

Pours an amber from a bottle, pear, citrus and pine aroma with some grass as well. Flavor is a caramelly pine hop overload. Balanced. Pretty good beer.

T42 Bottleshare. Thanks to Leighton. Clear deep amber - brown beer, small pale tan head. Palate is smooth, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Soft dark malts and a little dark chocolate and cream. Modest dark fruits. Light finish. Hides the abv well but it’s just not that exciting.
