Can at home, boy I’m terrible at keeping beer in fridge. Hazy burnt orange one fi her beige head. Nose is great pine and tropical fruits. Tastes of deep pine, caramel, some mango, resin, grapefruit, malty, and juicy candy notes. Lingering bitter amd sugary finish. Pretty good IPA.

Can shared at CBC Clapham, 2/10/2015. Many thanks to Scopey for this one. Translucent yellow / straw coloured pour with a lasting halo of white head. Aroma is lovely big tropical fruit hop with mango and passion fruit, bready malts and pithy citrus. Flavour is composed of pithy lemon, mango and tropical fruit, light wheat grains, with a nice drying finish. Palate is sticky hop with a nice dry finish, high carbonation. Lingering pithy citrus ion the finish. Very nice.

Pours deep hazy gold into a shaker. White head with good retention recedes leaving spot lacing. Citrus and pine aromas. Medium bodied with dark caramel and grapefruit upfront turning to resin in the lasting finish.

Poured from can thanks Willrunforbeer medium brown with a two finger beige head. Aromas of pine fresh citrus and roast. Taste follows with a nicely balanced bitterness.

16 oz. can traded to me by Willrunforbeer! Thanks for the chance. Date on the bottom of can reads 11/03/2015. Black color with thin tan head with some mild legs of lacing. Aroma has light pine and roast on top of traces of citrus.

Flavor has weak roasted grain and a very light hint of citrus. The boldest flavor here is pine that lingers long and strong in the finish. The body is about medium/ a tad lean. The texture is dry from roast and pine. This is spot on for the style and has a nice pine hop profile. Tasty.

Personal note: my 300th beer rating from the state of Maine.

Draft at Great Last Bear. Looks like cloudy grapefruit juice, thin head. Aroma is bold tropical fruit, light pine resin and peach. Really tempting for the nose. The hop profile does not hide the fact it is dominate in Pine. The West Coast lives in this IPA. In fact, so much so it over runs the tropical fruit and malt. Fruit trys to come out in the finish but fails. The bitterness is only high enough to remind you its an IPA. So it has some balance. Overall kind of middle of the road for me.

Poured from a can from toxiclogic. Aroma is balanced with a moderate hop and malt note. Malt is mostly cracker with some biscuit and light caramel. Moderate grapefruit and resin with some light tropical fruit and melon. Overripe fruit notes. Pours a hazy, copper orange with a medium sized, moderately thick, white head that shows average retention. Medium light lacing and small legs. Flavor is slightly sweet with moderate cracker and lighter biscuit and caramel malt notes. Medium high bitterness. Medium hop flavors of citrus, tropical fruit and melon. Hops also have some stone fruit notes. More fruit comes out as it warms a bit. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice beer but the hops are a bit faded and the malt presence a bit too strong. A good beer, but not a great beer. I wish the hop character came out more in the aroma and flavor.

Draught at Brewer’s Fork, 10/23/15.
A whopping $11 for 13 ounces of a local IPA. Won’t be going back to Brewer’s Fork any time soon, that’s for sure. However, that’s neither here nor there. The beer is a rather hazy golden-copper color with a moderate amount of white head with moderate retention.
Green onion, tangerine, a big helping of malt lending a sugar cookie character and mixing with the hops to give off notes of pineapple and mango. With more warming, it grows quite piney/citrusy to the point where the more interesting notes are driven off. No alcohol nor flaw.
Quite malty and borderline sweet, though I suppose one could just write this off as "juiciness". Doughy, sedimented texture with moderate to moderately low carbonation. Pineapple, grapefruit and some leafy, earthy, dank notes, as noted, but also some monotonous pine and orange rind. Heavy acidity, borderline astringency build up on the finish. Some alcohol even. Really haven’t been wowed by Foundation’s hoppy offerings at all. They’re not bad, but they’re certainly mid-tier at best; just way too much acidity, a heavy-handed malt signature and dominated by pine and citrus. Would MUCH rather have a Wanderlust or an Eddy.
