Purchased in Warren, VT at a wine shop for a price of $7.99. Massive head that took 5 minutes to die before I could even attempt to sip the black liquid in the snifter. Aroma of burnt malts, coffee grounds, light vanilla hints.
Flavor had mild maple upfront , roasted nuts, dying vanilla beans in a fuller body. Man the flavor here is good if they can just tone down the carbonation. The body seems to be thinner than it should be. Of course it could be the Co2 playing tricks on my palate. I will re-rate this if I can get a draft sample because this bottle was a mess. My rating is based on flavor alone….

650 ml bottle purchased in Warren, VT for $7.99. Crystal clear gold with lasting head and lacing down the snifter. Aroma is rather piney, hints of grass, with a kiss of citrus. Very drinkable.
The flavor starts with mild citrus and tropical fruits. Palate is nicely oily then turns into a dry pine. Medium body, mild carbonation. Hops aren’t as powerful or bold as I was hoping for but with that said it still is a real tasty.

Draft at The Reservoir. Pours clear gold in a mason jar. The aroma is perfume and fresh floral hops. Mild malt undertone.
Medium body with average Co2. Floral hops dominate the palate like the nose. Some notes of grapefruit, tangerines with the addition of some pine in the finish. Bitterness is rather lengthy and drinks like it is a bit higher in gravity without any kind of alcohol flavor. Pretty nice and straddles the line of a DIPA.

Keg at The Reservoir - Waterbury, VT. Pours clear gold with a creamy, white head. The nose has lots of flowers, perfume, light bread and orange. Medium sweet flavor with lots more perfume hops, some melon, dry dry bread, grapefruit, slight pine. Medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Lightly resinous on the finish with moderate grassy bitterness, floral hops, some pithy citrus, tangerine. Very nice overall.

Pours deep gold into a snifter. Off-white head with good retention recedes leaving spider lacing. Sweet resin, grapefruit and tropical fruit aromas. Thick with sweet caramel and resin upfront turning to tropical fruit before the lasting warm finish. Hmm - this tastes remarkably similar to the Trillium Melcher Street IPA I just finished.
