Pours golden hazy with a thick white bubbly head. Aroma of grapefruit and hops. Taste is light, nice citrus hop notes, hazy mouthfeel with tropical notes. Palate has residual tropical notes, like a NEIPA. Absolutely should be classified as a NEIPA. Great.

12oz can at home. Pours a hazy yellow gold with a medium white head. Lovely tropical fruit and grapefruit aroma with a subtle complexity of bready sweet malts and some citrus. Flavour is mango, grapefruit, caramel, some slight bit of pineapple. Nice quick finish

Sample at the meeting last night, thanks to whoever shared it. Dark brown in color with a thin off white head that doesn't last long. Light caramel maltiness and a lot of oaky vanilla bourbon and ethanol heat. A little thin in body. Nice to try but at 2 years old its still hot.

Bottle purchased in VT this Easter weekend. Pours a clean golden colour with a big white frothy head that becomes bubbly, stays a long while with some thick foamy patches. Becomes hazy at last pour with a bunch of transparent particles. Sharp spicy bite of hops in the nose over yeast and wheat notes that give out hints of bananas. The taste is bitter like a Pale Ale should be. The finish is dry enough. A decent beer like most of their brews.

Pours hazy amber with a thick white head. Aroma of tart and salty cranberry. Taste is lightly malted with subtle cranberry elements on an herbal backdrop. Palate has cranberry and extremely slight lactose elements. Good.

Pours a clean golden colour with an amber hue. The head is fluffy-frothy, off-white, big, long lasting with spotted-sticky lacing. Green grass hop nose. Hints of pines and caramel malts. A slight haze comes in at last pour, with very tiny transparent particles. The taste is a nice mix of citrus hoppiness, mild caramel base and light grassiness. Some tropical notes jammed in there. Easy enough to drink, but with still some good dryness in the finish. Not bad at all.

Can at home in NH. Pours murky orange with a frothy, white head. Not bad, has some orange, tangerine, mellow rindy bitterness, crispy pale malts. Light bodied with average carbonation. More rindy citrus in the finish, nips of melon, rind, pine needles. Alright.
