Can (5/1/20) pour from Manchester Wine and Liquors. Appearance is opaque light yellow with tons of sparkle, finger-width white foamy head with decent retention and fair leggy lacing. Aroma is citrus and old school hop. Taste is sweet citrus fruit/dried fruit and malt backbone. Mouthfeel is light-to-medium bodied with smooth, frothy texture, average carbonation, and mostly sweet finish with some grains and light bitter counterbalance. Overall, decent strength of aroma and taste but fairly nondescript and a bit of boring old school hop (though I get why you put Columbus 1st with an anniversary IPA for 400th anniversary of Plymouth founding (and, yes, I know he discovered America in 1492 not 1620). Mouthfeel is a little weak for the style. Not bad but a tough category.

Can [from trade, thanks Kevin!!] at home. Orange color, full sized white head that lasts a decent while. Aroma and flavor have old school hops, yet are a little bit... well, "faint" isn't the right word. It's kind of like they're lightly past their prime. So that tells me this must be pretty damn good when super fresh, as it is still quite a delight. Solid bitterness. Medium body, lightly oily texture, average to medium carbonation. Good.

Pours a near black from a can, not much head to speak of, but what's there is a dark tan. Rich roasted aroma, chocolate is present along with a faint nuttiness, coffee as well. Flavor is a semisweet chocolate, toffee notes, finishes slightly more bitter and with coffee notes. Pretty good beer.

16 oz. can with a date of 2/07/20. Pleasant fruity aromas; mango, citrus, black pepper. Flavor is pretty nice. Mango, peach-ish, sweet grapefruit, mild bread malt. Texture is soft with a slight juicy hint to it. This is a Prototypical New England DIPA. Nice!
