Draught at the brewery, 9/2/17.
Moderately-to-heavily hazy, pale, brass-golden body with a well-formed, well-retained, white head.
Juicy in the nose with tropical fruits being most prominent followed by softer, not aggressive citrus notes. Lime, mango, pineapple is pretty standard and there's no resin, alcohol, doughy yeast and very little malt to interrupt things.
In the mouth it's equally juicy, soft, malty and dry with pineapple-mango-lime characteristics of Australian hops (didn't read up on what's in here exactly). A bit of bitterness and more citrus on the end, moreso than the nose would suggest. Cracker and biscuit-like malt round out a very "classic" take on the NE pale ale. Lovely, as always, from this gem.

Draught at brewery, 9/2/17.
Heavily hazy, bright golden with a medium-sized white head showing moderate retention.
Juicy citrus and tropical fruit with a light cereal backing and lots of honey. Moderately estery, as well, though not sharp, resinous or alcoholic.
Sweet up front with candied citrus and plentiful mango. Very chewy, dextrinous body with high attenuation and lots of juice. Sticky and a bit tangy with moderate bitterness. Clean and with a bit more malt than usual but very easygoing and no resin whatsoever.

Can thanks to Dennis. Pours a cloudy yellow gold with small white head that lasts. The aroma is strong tropical fruit, vanilla bean, floral. Medium body, pineapple, vanilla, grass, light bitterness, very good.

Draught at the brewery, 11/5/16.
Blonde-flaxen body shows a moderate to moderately strong haziness. White head atop is well-retained.
Lots of woodiness, lemon, orange rind and light nectarine, with strong grains, light honey and a bit of sweatiness from the citra. Juicy in the flavor, moreso than expected, with no alcohol and a moderate bitterness boasting no resin. Tight carbonation, soft, malty body with light graininess providing crispness on the finish in concert with the lemon-orange-like citrus hop notes.

Draught at the brewery, 11/5/16.
A moderately hazy, but bright, tangerine-canteloup colored body is topped by a foamy white head of moderate retention.
Lovely juiciness, yet retains some citrus character of a classic IPA. Light, mild and very drinkable with soft carbonation. On the sweeter side for a session IPA, though not underfermented. My sample had just a hint of diacetyl, I think, but was still very, very drinkable. Peaches, nectarines, strawberries and candied orange with very low bitterness and no resin.
