Can (2/21/20) pour from Harvest Market, Bedford. Appearance is opaque orange-dark yellow with a few dark floaties about, decent sparkle at the edges of the glass, finger-width white foamy head with good retention and decent soapy lacing. Aroma is citrus, grapefruit, pineapple rind, hint of herb. Taste is predominant pineapple and herb with lesser grapefruit and citrus. Mouthfeel is medium side of light-to-medium bodied with smooth texture, average-to-lively carbonation and mostly sweet pineapple finish with moderate lingering dry bitterness. Overall, an IPA leaning heavily toward the NEIPA style or a decent NEIPA.

Pours clear deep mahogany into a stem glass. Mocha head with medium retention recedes to skim surface. Sweet dark molasses and toasted malt aromas. Soft and slick with hot toffee and caramel upfront turning to sweet dark molasses in the warm, medium length finish.

Can from Beer52. Hazy pale gold with a white head and a rather too prickly fizz. Lemon, pine, yeasty bread, gingery spice and a little lime cordial and cream. Sweet up front with a dryish and mildly bitter finish. Apart from the aggressive carbonation, this is rather good.

Pours a nice dark russet from a tap. Rich malty aroma and flavor, lightly sweet with a thin bitter finish. Very good beer.

[16oz can from Beer52.] A slightly hazy pale straw coloured pour with a loose white head; aroma of citrus rind of yeast; intense tropical fruit taste with sharp lemons and grapefruit; then a gentler grapefruit bitterness with a touch peppery heat. Rather good.

16 ounce can into lager glass, canned on 11/27/2018. Pours slightly hazy pale golden yellow color with a 1-2 finger dense and rocky white head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lingers. Nice dense foamy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Fantastic appearance. Aromas of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with good balance of pale malts and earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Taste of big lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness. Light-moderate pine, herbal, floral, woody, grassy, peppery bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of lemon, cracker, white bread dough, toasted biscuit, wood, pepper, pine, and herbal/floral/grassy earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Great robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; with a great malt/bitterness balance, and no lingering hop astringency after the finish. Moderately crisp/clean finishing. Perfectly clean on lager flavors, with no fruity/yeasty notes present. Moderate increasing dryness from lingering bitterness and carbonation. Medium-plus carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth and moderately bready/grainy/sticky balanced mouthfeel that is great. Light lingering resins through the glass. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.1%. Overall this is a delicious German pils. All around nice robustness and balance of pale malts and earthy hop flavors; very smooth, crisp, clean, and refreshing to drink with the modestly bitter/drying finish, not aggressive. Very flavorful and not watery for the ABV. Awesome clean pils malt showcase, with perfectly balanced noble hops. Minimal residual sweetness with crisp dryness. A very enjoyable offering, and impressive spot on style example.

No date coding. Flavor shows bolder citrus, pear, mild floral. Low bitterness. Simple and straightforward with a nice citrus character throughout the beer.
