This was poured into a tulip, thinking it was a DIPA. Bottling date reads: 05/22/15.
The appearance was a semi-hazy bronzed red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipates within less than a minute. There’s a decent lacing that roams around the glass.
The smell starts off with a big burst of citrus hops amplified by a pine bitterness to balance. Extra tropical notes lead in but remain subtle.
The taste starts off sweet and leads into a slight bitter, nice and substantial. A light aftertaste of sweet to semi-bitter citrus leads into a sly dry finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it.. Carbonation feels right as an IPA to lead to a decent bitterness over my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a really good IPA that I could have again.

Batch #010
Bottled on 06/02/2015
This was poured into a nonic pint glass.
The appearance was a hazy fairly dark red color with a one finger white foamy head that dissipated within about a minute leaving some light messy lacing.
The smell had a semi-sweet citrus over top of some light caramel malts.
The taste was moderately sweet carrying a light bitterness from the citrus to balance decently. There’s no aftertaste but it did have a light quick sweet finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionable feel about it. Carbonation seemed good for the style and for me.
Overall, not a bad APA, nothing special and it seemed it could be construed as a cross between an Amber ale and an APA. Could have again.

On tap at the Hinesburg public house.
This was poured into a tulip.
The appearance had a soft hazy burnt orange color with a bar pour’s kind of slim head that dissipated immediately. Lacing speckles the sides nicely.
The smell starts off with a sweet to sharp mango leading into a semi-sweet citrus rind.
The taste was fully bittersweet taking the citrus to play with a light piney substance. Mango becomes more subtle and leads into a sweet sticky citrus aftertaste and a light sweet citrus to caramel finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a decent sessionability about it. Carbonation seemed a bit under but still allowed a nice bitterness to hit my tongue.
Overall, I say this was a pretty good AIPA that I would have again.
