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.

Can that pours a hazy golden-orange colour with a frothy off-white head, good stay and some dirty, thin-creamy lacing. Sweet fruity citrus hop aromas with mostly oranges over the caramel malts. The taste shows sweetness as well. Like the yeast is sugary. All with the oranges and other sweet tropical fruits. Like mangoes. Hints of pineapples. Some decent grassy hops in the finish, but does not drag. Mild warming alcohol, as well not lingering. A very good NEIPA. Juicy, boozy but well-balanced.

6-pack for my 2019 Easter Vermont weekend. Pours a clean amber colour with a big frothy light-beige head with good retention and full of creamy lacing waving around. Aromas are a nice blend of spicy rye grains, caramel malts and hints molasses, alcohol. The taste shows the caramel and again, light molasses to balance out the sweetness. The other thing that helps out is the dryness that builds in the finish. Like it says - a rich, robust winter beer for 6% ABV.

Pours hazy golden with heavy carbonation and a thick white head. Aroma of bread yeast. Taste is slightly bitter with a definite lager note on the nose. Palate continues this note with hints of lemon herbal notes. Good lager.

Aroma of grassy hops. Taste is much of the same, floral notes. Palate has a resinous grass note. Hoppy and refreshing.
