Had at the restaurant North on draft happy to pick up few new RI brewery ticks this trip home. Very light colored brew you can see clear through. Nose is fragrant and spicy. Tastes of hay, farmhouse, lemon. Very light bodied but zippy enough to be pleasant.

The first pour is nearly a clear golden color. Flavor shows mild citrus, mild spice, subtle young funk. Kind of over carbonated. Mouthfeel is effervescent. Dry texture. I have only made 1 trip to this brewery but this is my favorite beer so far.

Chocolate candy bar, little bit of sugar, the body is a tad bit thin. No flaws. A slight bitterness.

6 oz. draft at the brewery. Flavor has a good roated malt backbone with long lingering coffee after the sip. Hint of over extracted coffee bean. Bitter bean. Still all consider, good.

6 ounce draft at the brewery. Aroma and flavor are mild citrus, mild melon rind, and a slight herbal bitterness that is not pine. Maybe some florals. Soft mouthfeel and mild bitterness.

6 oz draft at the brewery. Very herbal, if I said fruit that maybe a stretch. Maybe melon. Bitterness is stronger in the herbal character. If you are tired this is an eye opener!

Canned 12/3/18, drunk 1/16/19.
Pours a copper-tinted, maize-bronze with a small, but well-retained, off-white head. Quite hazy, though not soupy.
Fruity and lightly juicy with soft, tropical and juicy citrus hop notes working well alongside light honey, biscuit and a hint of nutty rye. No harsh bread or alcohol or anything odd going on here. Bubble gum/ester is low, but apparent while there is no flaw noted.
In the mouth it's soft, malty, well-attenuated and lightly juicy with nectarine, mango, lime and pineapple all keeping things bright and enjoyable. Malts soak up any excess bitterness and it's well-balanced without any twang, heavy yeast character, flaw or alcohol noted.

Canned 11/12/18, purchased from the brewery 1/5/19 and drunk 1/8/19. Not gonna lie, very nervous about this being two months old. Not like the IBUs are going to hang around and keep it balanced, AMIRITE?! Anyways, if they're confident though, I'm buying.
Pours well enough. Nice and light lemon-brass-golden. Good haziness, quite heavy though not soupy. White head quickly fizzles to a ring.
And it smells pretty nice too! Lemon, apricot, biscuit, cereal, moderately fruity yeast with a healthy dose of bubble gum. All giving the fruity, creamy, rather juicy NE IPA character. There's a bit of light acidity that must be the apricot. No alcohol or flaw.
In the mouth it's soft, malty, well-attenuated with low but tight carbonation and plentiful acidity from the apricot. Seems balanced enough. Honey and biscuit emanate from the malt and it remains juicy and heavily fruity with ample bitterness on the end from the fruit. There's a bit of chalkiness, not exactly sure where from, but this is pretty god damned nice for two months old. No alcohol or flaw. Juicy, soft, balanced and with a pleasant apricot and good hop character. No resin, of course.

Draught at the brewery, 1/5/19.
Brilliant, clear, violet-cranberry-magenta. Pinkish head fades quickly to a ring.
Moderate lactic acidity combines with the tart blueberry acids while a healthy biscuit and light cereal backing more-or-less balances the nose. Perhaps a bit of excess lactic character though maybe it's just due to the seemingly very high attenuation of fruit and malt. Still quite bright and clean, though, with no alcohol noted.
Quite dry and fairly lactic in the mouth with lean finish filled with a good deal of cracker, tart blueberry acidity and lactic acid. Somewhat fizzy/sharp carbonation at times and not all that supple in texture, but clean and straightforward with good, albeit extremely attenuated, blueberry character.
