16 oz. can in a trade with Chalumeaux. Can dated 6/16/17 with the message "This bird is for you Spud" A cloudy bright yellow with off white head. Nose is intense on grapefruit and mild earthy resin. mild candied orange hints
The resin / or pine, is a bit bit excessive in the finish and gives a pretty stern bitterness. Mouthfeel is soft with a mellow amount of malt backing. For me pretty average but drinkable without a doubt.

16 oz. can shared by Chalumeaux, thanks! The color is a bright yellow with thin head. Aroma is citrus, mild grass, tropical fruit, and pale grain.
The body is on the lighter side of medium with crispness. Mouthfeel has a nice chewiness on the tongue. Flavor upfront with a lightly tropical fruit, citrus pith, and shows a moderate level of bitterness after the sip. I like this!!

16 oz. can shared by Chalumeaux, thanks! The color is a bright yellow with thin head. Great aroma of bold citrus upfront backed by a solid amount of grain and light pale malts.
The middle to the finish has grapefruit and a light earthy and a nice bitterness in the finish. The fruit shows up again with a light lingering rustic grain. Really nice overall.

Draught at The Post, 5/4/17.
Lightly-to-moderately hazy, blonde-golden with light copper accents. White head atop is small but shows modest retention.
Lots of citrus in the nose with strong pine behind it. It feels like it wants to be juicier than it is, but the bittering hop addition seems rather overdone here. Cracker and biscuit behind it, from the malt, seems nicely attenuated and the beer is clean.
Quite dry, with a bracing bitterness and light fruitiness on its tails. Candied orange, dry pineapple, lime and finally stronger pine make this one quite assertive and a lot more West Coast-oriented than the other IPAs I’ve had from them. Lightly loose, moderate carbonation with no alcohol or flaw but moderate resin lingering on the palate. Could use some more malt depth, as well.

Canned 3/21/17, drunk 4/1/17.
Thoroughly hazy, golden-peach-copper with a white head that is small and shows low retention.
Huge fruit juice aroma featuring melon, mango, papaya and backed by strong caramel-tinged honey-like malt notes.
Much the same in flavor with big, round, fruity, juicy tropical notes and a very soft texture. Low but fairly engaging carbonation. Everything was going swimmingly until the finish which grows increasingly yeasty (sourdough, bread, blandness) and resinous (pine, hop twang). So it starts out with a bang and seems like you’ve got yourself a top notch NE IPA, but they can’t close it out, unfortunately.
