Draught at Meadhall on 8/14/18.
Heavily hazy, bordering soupy, golden-maize-bronze. White head atop is small, showing moderate retention.
Heavy yeast in the nose, both the actual, nutty yeast itself and strong mineral, bubble gum and melon. Citrus is heavily lemony with more orange and light pineapple behind it. Biscuity malty stay out of the way and there's no flaw or alcohol.
In the mouth it's soft, full of yeasty, malty, even wheat-like textures with low but engaging carbonation. Lots of various citrus with little/no resin. Pretty big body, though not sweet. Straightforward session NE IPA. Competent if somewhat unremarkable.

Draught at the Fox and Hound, 4/20/18.
Heavily hazy, bronze-maize-golden, typical NE IPA appearance. Small, white head fades quickly to a ring.
Smells of succulent, honey-dense malt. Maybe some light bubble gum ester from the yeast, as well. Clean, not all that hoppy and no resin, but yet, little/no juice either. Just kind of a vague wintergreen and marmalade, old school PNW character.
In the mouth it's soft, even sweet, with tons of malt flavor and texture. Almost certainly too much so and with a strange, somewhat unclean, strong yeast character adding dullness and a touch of astringency. Resin eventually builds lightly on the finish. Definitely off a bit, most likely just needing more time in secondary and some cleaning up around the edges.

Poured from can black with a creamy mocha head. Aroma is roasted malt chocolate vanilla light smoke. Taste is rich and creamy vanilla chocolate milk luscious and decadent however a tad flat. Nice brew that hides the abv well. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Verified Beer Traders Porch Bomb on 08 Jun 2018 at 19:24 - Score: 7

Poured from can thanks Andrew dark grapefruit with a thin white head. Aroma is citrus pith floral hops resinous pine. Taste is grapefruit pith earthy floral hops and a lingering pine finish. Needs more citrus to balance. --- Beer merged from original tick of (collab with) Verified Beer Traders FT:ISO on 05 Jun 2018 at 19:23 - Score: 7. Original review text: Dark floral resin.
