On tap at Tip Tap Room, pours a cloudy golden blonde with a small white head. Aroma brings out rich piney hops, some resins and stone fruits. Flavour follows through, with robust piney hops, some resins and light stone fruits. Fruity and piney. Excellent.

4 pack of cans from Bier Cellar Portland. Hazy dark yellow color with a decent sized tightly bubbled white head that persists. Juicy citrus and light tropical fruits with a hint of earth and some sweet bready maltiness to back it up. I really enjoyed this one.

Bottle a tight home in Canaan, NH. Picked up at the brewery. Pours clear honey-gold, highly effervescent, with a billowing, frothy white head. Engaging aroma, nice apricot, peach, understated citrus. Light sweet flavour with sturdy acidity, pleasant tart apricot, melon, lemon. Light bodied with lively, massaging carbonation. Tight finish, dry and quenching, more true apricot, moderate citric tartness. This one really delivers. Not super complex, but really drinkable and with great apricot character.

Canned 10/26/17, drunk 2/9/18.
Dark brown-mahogany. Large, light tan-beige head shows moderately strong retention. High clarity.
Big bouquet of aromatic, lovely, fruity coffee to open things up. Vanilla-fudge from the malts with light tootsie roll and some fruit and mineral from the yeast. Everything combines to give off a very nice English-American hybrid porter of sorts, much moreso than a brown ale, though I suppose the roast is really just the actual coffee. Regardless, it's clean, complex (tons of varied chocolate character) and shows no alcohol or burnt/acrid/stale coffee character.
Chocolate-fudge-prune-raisin is the force of the flavor, the coffee integrated nicely and providing more fruit and light earth. Lightly bitter roast, plum and vanilla notes help offset the sweetness, though it's well-attenuated anyways. Tight carbonation and good malt suppleness. Vanilla-fudge and light hop and coffee-like bitterness linger on the clean, vibrant, flavorful finish.

Poured from can thanks Chris DeMont hazy pineapple with a white head. Aroma is juicy citrus mango pineapple floral hops caramel and pine. Taste is sweet almost too sweet citrus dominates which saves it earthy floral hops then a lingering pine finish. Admirable effort.
