16 oz can. Aroma is pretty nice. Chocolate, mild coffee, roasted grains. I put off sampling this for a long time because it is "just" a brown ale. Mistake by me because this is really nice.
The layers of malt is pretty deep. Mild coffee, roasted nuts, chocolate. Mouthfeel is fuller for the style and displays a dry roasted texture.

Can. Big fruity nose, grapefruit, orange, pineapple, pine, a bit of funky tropical, pepper. Hazy, deep orange, medium airy head. Flavors of orange, pineapple, very fruity and quite juice-like. Good peppery, spicy hops too. Peppery, rather bitter finish. Full body. Good stuff.

Pours straw into a shaker. Bright white head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Cracked malt and earthy hop aromas. Soft with sweet bready malt and citrus upfront turning to dry earth in the lasting finish.

Can from 7/11 Hazy deep yellow color with a bubbly white head that slowly recedes. Pine citrus and tropical on the nose. Flavors match the aroma well and add a bready crackery malt to counter. Pretty damn tasty DIPA.

Pours a cloudy golden yellow, with almost no head and quite a few floaty bits. Aroma is grassy, with some citrus. Flavor is very hop-forward, with lots of pine/spruce, a touch of grass, and maybe some slight citrus elements. It isn’t bad.

16 oz. can purchased at 7:11 in Kittery Maine. Bright Hace golden color within lasting white head. Aroma is citrus, grass and light tropical hands. Flavor follows suit with melon rind, lemon peel, and grassy notes in the finish.
The bitterness is in the lower Spectrum with a dry texture. Good malt to hops ratio. Grass and herbal hints linger after the sip. Pretty nice hop juice. Drinkability is pretty high on this IPA. Well crafted.

White bready backbone with the pilsner malt. The hops are alive and well with grass and mild herbal tones. Light body and a very low carbonation level. Easygoing brew.

16 oz. Can purchased at 7- Eleven Kittery, ME. Deep brown color, weak head. Aroma light charred grain, chocolate, and weak molasses.
Weak roasted grain backbone. The mouthfeel is about right for a porter. Charred grain aftertaste. Standard yet enjoyable.
