Can pour from trade with Johnnnniee--thanks, John! Appearance is cloudy yellow with nice sparkle, 2-finger width white foamy head with good retention and fair lacing. Aroma is strong lemony citrus and a bit of pine. Taste is citrus that's not very sweet and has a mildly tart aspect, light biscuit. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with thin, frothy texture, soft-to-average carbonation and finish as taste with no bitterness. Overall, kind of disappointing that the tribute to VT IPA culture would be more of a conventional IPA than a NEIPA. Looks great but isn't particularly juicy (or even flavorful) and a bit thin. VT is a tough place to brew a marginal IPA...

16 oz. in a trade with johnnnniee, thanks for the chance. Aroma has soft lemon like citrus, and cracker malt. Flavor is the same with the addition of a mild green leaf hop in the finish. Normal body and carbonation with no bitterness.

Pours a slightly hazy, lemon-gold, with smallish head. Aroma is citrus and tropical fruit. Flavor is citrus and tropical fruit, with some underlying sweetness and a finish that highlights a slight hop bitterness. The mouthfeel might be a bit slight for a beer in this category, but overall, this is a pretty impressive achievement.

Can from Restone. Hazy light gold in color with with a few chunks floating around and a good sized frothy head that slowly recedes. Bready malt with a decent amount of citrus and pine. Tasty but no wow factor.
