On tap at the brewery. Pours a clear orange gold with medium frothy white head that lasts. The aroma is strong grass, melon, mango. Medium body, similar flavors to nose, juicy, light bitterness, crushable, very nice.

Draft pour pint at Cloudburst, on two occasions. Had to retry to confirm any previous doubts. Pours a clean and clear golden color with a rocky foam head. A dank hop aroma as expected, sort of on the piney side. A ton of sticky lacing, a sweet malt covered by an intense juicy hop bitterness. Quite a bite to this one. Some orange. All things lead to being a bit sweet with this IPA, leaving it as one of their more forgettable ones for me. These guys are so good at the IPA game, they make a really good IPA and find a way for me to pick out flaws. Still a good IPA for sure.

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. Pours a near black with a tan cream foam head. Heavy lacing too. A toasty coffee, roasted malt like aroma. Flavor is matching for the most part, with a subtle vanilla like sweetness. Creamy, and a solid roasted constant, but the body remains lighter. I feel like some hops sneak in, which I’m not surprised, considering the guys making it. Interesting take on the style. Still don’t know what a Vermont porter is, but glad I tried one!

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. Not even open a year yet, I’m surprised they haven’t run out of pale ale ideas, then they come up with something new yet again. Keep it up. This is fun. A lighter, cloudy golden yellow pour with a rocky foam head that lasts. Inviting aroma that reminds me of an orange peel spiced tea. Constant Comment. Delicious. Flavor is mellow, and easy to drink. Some subtle oranges, over a straw grain with hints of rye spice. Floral reminder all throughout. Smooth, sessionable beer that I regret not getting the full pour of. Can always go back for more! Tried to find a reason to not like something about this beer, but couldn’t do it. Unique. Fruity, spicy, balanced, sessionable. So much good going on here. Very good beer here.

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. This bwet was modestly experimented in the past, and I thought I missed it forever. So glad they brought it back! Amazing stuff. A shiny golden pour with a sticky foam head and lacing. Strong hop aroma that finds a way to be money, fruity, and spicy all at once. Flavor is full of tropical fruit. Mango, pineapple, melon. The whole deal. A hop profile that turns piney late. One of the more complex hop profiles here, and I’m not surprised, with the way this beer was created. A ton going on. Flavorful and easy to drink. Fantastic IPA.

Draft 10 oz pour at Cloudburst. A cloudy golden pour with a thinning fizz head. A subtle sweet aroma of melon fruit, citrus hops. Flavor is a cool orange fruit, melon, withwith a juicy finish. Very refreshing. Another solid addition to the lineup.

On tap at Cloudburst, pours a hazy golden yellown with a small white head. Aroma brings out lots of tropical fruits, vinous hops from the Nelson, and melon. Flavour bursts of tropical fruits, especially melon, with dry citrus hopping and a nice astringent finish. Loads of depth, with exceeding drinkability. Excellent.

On tap at Cloudburst, pours a clear pale golden yellow with a small white head. Aroma is fairly subtle, with pungent piney hops and citrus dry hopping. Flavour is quite dry and fairly monolithic, with piney hops, dry hopping and toasted biscuity malt. Dry and drinkable, but not with the depth of other Cloudburst IPAs I've had. Still, solid.
