Can pour into tulip glass from Epsom Circle Market. Aroma is mild bread, dough, German yeast/hops. Appearance is clear copper color with finger-width off white head with fair retention and trace lacing, trace sparkle. Taste is lightly sweet with German yeast tart and bitter. Palate is light-to-medium bodied with thin texture, soft carbonation, dry finish. Overall, mild all around and more yeast/bitter dominated than malt.

Draft at Street, Portsmouth, NH. Almost black color without any head. Aroma is cocoa, old coffee and weak roasted grains.
Flavor is mild coffee with some chocolate, weak roasted malt notes and a light bitterness on the finish. Also has a touch of sourness that doesn’t really fit here. Lighter body / almost too thin. Not bad in anyway just your standard everyday porter.

Keg pour at NH Brewfest. Appearance is nice very very dark brown opaque pour with finger-width off-white head and attractive lacing. Aroma is roasted malts with small amount of cocoa. Taste begins as medium roasted malts which then strangely morphs into moderately tart second half. Palate is light bodied with thin texture with average carbonation and tart finish. Overall, this starts off looking gorgeous and smelling nice but the wheels kind of fall off with the taste and palate that are strange for style.

Can poured into pint glass from Signal Variety, Plaistow NH. Aroma is strong lemony sweetness (almost like Pledge furniture spray--but in a good way) over malty bread. Appearance is hazy yellow-orange brown with no sparkle and frothy two-finger-width off-white head with attractive lacing. Taste is assertive moderate malty sweet with fruity taste 1st half and mildly bitter second half and dry finish including the citrus from the aroma. Palate is medium bodied with silky smoothness that slides down the throat like teflon. Carbonation adds to the character and calls brief attention to itself with a light zing to the top of the tongue without distracting from the rest. Overall, this exceeded expectations and distinguishes itself in almost every way (appearance is not as unique as other aspects). Am looking forward to my next sip and the other three cans!

16 oz. can, purchased at Craft Beer Cellar, Portsmouth. Lightly hazy Amber type color with decent head retention. Aroma is mild citrus and moderate level of pine.
Flavor is backed by a weak level of malts. With that being said the body is borderline watery and is lacking. I understand the brewer is going for a "session" IPA but everything about this tastes watered down, including the hops. Yeah it’s drinkable but why bother? I really hope this brewing trend dies soon, such a waste.
