Bottled on 02/28/17.
This was poured into an English pint glass.
The appearance was a dark hazy burnt orange color. I could still see carbonation rising though the color was pretty hazy. Quickly dissipating finger’s worth of white foamy head. Sly foamy rims stick to the sides.
The aroma had some soft sweet peach up front and then papaya. In turn, it ends up bringing some bitter citrus rind. Some signs of sweet citrus pulp.
The flavor yields to a semi-sticky sweet edge over the bitter citrus rind. Peach and papaya flesh seems to be the aftertaste along with a hint of resin. Sticky bittersweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation felt fine. Bitterness punches appropriately. ABV felt good as well.
Overall, very nicely done AIPA that I would love to come back to.

Bottled, from Healthy Living, South Burlington. Cloudy deep golden, rich firm head. Huge, dank aroma of peach, passionfruit and mango. Mid sweet with medium-full body and rounded mouthfeel. Syrup, mixed tropical fruit juice punch, perfume and pine. Long bitter finish with notes of saccharine and metal. Lovely up front, somewhat lacking underneath.

650 ml bottle, thanks to Willrunforbeer. Another freshie dated 2-15-17, word pimping!! Huge orange, tangerine, fresh citrus aroma.
Really great balance of juicy citrus and very mild pine in the back end. Great amount of juicy texture. This is very near the top of New England style IPA’s. Solid brews.

Bottled on 02/02/2017.
Treated as an imperial black ale, this was poured into a tulip.
The appearance was a black color with a finger’s worth of light tan head. Quickly dies off leaving a messy lace, somewhat coating the glass and speckles forth towards the beer.
The aroma sharply pronounces big piney hops initially bold and up front. Earthy \"loam\" comes in for a bit of spiciness. Dark roasted malts play underneath.
The flavor seems to yield to the piney boldness of the hops initially and then the earthy/spicy loam slides in a semi-sticky almost sweet fashion. Blended sticky roasty/sweet/spicy/piney bitter aftertaste (well combined). Semi-sticky bitter to roasty sweet sort of finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a medium on the body with good palate wrecking quality as the style seems to normally convey. Carbonation felt good. ABV felt good as well.
Overall, good imperialized black IPA that I could come back to even if I don’t have another that night.

Bottled 03/01/2017.
This was poured into a becher pint glass.
The appearance was a black color with a creamy colored finger’s worth of semi-foamy head. Messy speckled lace.
The aroma blends sweet and roasty espresso, some dark chocolate, milk chocolate and then some vanilla bean. Nice layer of sweetness.
The flavor blends the sweet and the roast together nicely. Slight rugged robust beans of the coffee, cocoa and vanilla lead into the aftertaste and slyly move into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a pretty good sessionably smooth sticky feature rolling over my tongue. Carbonation felt fine. ABV felt appropriate.
Overall, coffee porter and it sure feels, smells and tastes like one. I would come back to.

T42 Bottleshare. Big thanks to Leighton. Hazy gold beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is airy, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Very light malts with mild thin creamy sweetness. Spicy pine hops. Lovely light tropical fruits, mango raises it’s head the highest, pineapple next. Floral sweetness. Light hop spice and more tropical fruits. Smooth finish. Wonderfully light and drinkable.
