32 oz. growler purchased at the Exeter Farmers Market. Slightly hazy gold with some head retention. Aroma is light lemon and orange with a bready malt.
Flavor is sweet with the bready / doughy malts with the lemon / orange citrus showing up in the finish. Pretty grainy. Lighter side of medium in body with bitterness being in the very low range.

On tap at Granite State on tap. Lightly hazy with lots of fruity citrus and pine. Light astringency but a nice drinker.

Good sized draft sample at the Granite State Brewfest yesterday. Solid black color, roasty chocolate herbal menthol licorice. Interesting flavors, nice to try, but my 5 or 6 oz sample was a bit much to drink in one sitting.

Good sized draft sample at the Granite State Brewfest yesterday. Malty caramel with a solid hit of earth pine and resin. I really enjoyed this one.

32 oz growler pour at the source 24 hours prior. Slightly hazy gold color with an amber hue. Aroma is spent grain, citrus and light yeast nuances.
Flavor shows yeast notes upfront transitioning into spent grain and citrus hints. Mouthfeel has a crispness displayed in a medium body. The brew itself is refreshing but it’s missing the light funk or barnyard notes that people come to expect from the style. It really needs the farmhouse notes. I think with a little adjustment of the recipe and this will hit the mark.

32 oz. growlette purchased from the brewery and consumed 18 hours after the fill. Color displayed is a cloudy gold color with a thin white head in a pilsner glass. Aroma is light wheat and earthy rhubarb.
Flavor is a pleasant surprise. Light bready malt upfront and gives a light chewy, fuller body for a Wit. Lemons, rhubarb and wheat flavor. It also displays a yeasty and slightly sour flavor from the rhubarb I enjoy. Really well put together brew and a great summer beer to sip after a few hours in the sun. Nice job with this one!

32 oz. growler directly from the brewery. Consumed 24 hours after the pour. Amber in color with lasting bubbles of white head. Aroma is earthy herbs and hints of pine. The flavor shows citrus and light grassy notes upfront with a caramel malt base. The finish shows grapefruit and pine with a light lingering bitterness. Dry texture with a medium body. Very well constructed for a standard IPA and at 6.4 ABV I can drink large amounts of it. Worth a try for sure.

Half liter bottle courtesy of jcwattsrugger. Thanks! Pours a hazy burnished bronze color with a medium sized dense creamy tan head. Good head retention. Citrus and tropical notes are wafting over from the glass a few feet away. Further aroma notes are toffee and a bit of resin. The taste is toffee malts with a bitter citrus and pine hop finish. A little bi-polar as the sweetness lingers a bit before the bitterness kicks in. Medium bodied, lingering bitterness.

On tap at the EBF Saturday Nice barrel treatment, but the base beer seems a bit thin to hold up to it.

I tried this again on tap at cask and vine tonight as part of a blind tasting and frankly this was the only beer I didn’t enjoy. Its a bit thin on body, heavy on the coffee aroma and flavor with no sweetness to back it up. The barrel treatment was impossible to find and the mouthfeel was ashy. This beer needs some work.
