Keg at American Flatbread, Burlington. Cloudy golden, small head. Mild tropical fruit aroma, pineapple and mango. Dryish with light-medium body and clean, hard mouthfeel. Citrus, funk and passionfruit ends abruptly in a sharp aluminium finish

Tap at gingerman. Dusty golden pour. Nose is cerea lemon honey. Tastes of honey, grapefruit, lemon, cleaner detergent, tangerine and grass. Decent palate finishes touch sweet. Ok glad I finally grabbed a zero gravity keep missing them when pop up in city.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt orange to amber sort of color. Off white foamy head dissipated fairly quick leaving some speckled lace.
The aroma blended some piney bitter hops to orange citrusy hops and then some toffee malts underneath. Bursts of rye sweetness flow out to make a decent effort to blend, warming spice from the rye cracks the background.
The flavor pressures the rye to lead with a balanced spicy to sweet contour and then the pineyness, orange citrusy hops and toffee malts flow in to embrace the backbone. Spicy to sweet to bitter aftertaste. Mildly balances it all into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Spice seems to be quite controlled and yielding to a nice harshness. Good carbonation.
Overall, rye IPA? Yup, sure is and a good one too.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was a ruddy burnt orange to ruddy amber/light brown color. Stringy lace.
The aroma started off with that sweet laced citrus to piney bitter hoppiness flowing over some clean caramel malts. Dry biscuits. Some floral qualities too.
The flavor yields to the sweet side initially blending between the malts and the hops. Well blended malty to hoppy aftertaste flowing into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Carbonation felt good. Decent DIPA harshness.
Overall, good DIPA that I could have again.

Poured into a nonic pint glass, the appearance was an orange/amber color with a slim little white head that left some light stringy lace in its wake.
The aroma shaped around floral to citrusy hops coating some sweet biscuits and decent toffe malt base.
The flavor tried to blend between the malts and the hops, running in and out of bitterness to sweetness of the two. Semi-sweet hoppy to bitter yet malty aftertaste sliding into the finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a nice sessionability about it. Low riding carbonation feels good. Balanced malty to hoppy aftertaste.
Overall, pretty good AIPA that I could have again.

On tap at McGillicuddy’s, Five Corners.
This was poured into a pint glass.
The appearance was a dark rich orange to brown color with a bar pour’s kind of slim white head that moderates a sly filmy lace.
The aroma took in rich nutty to caramel to toffee malts freely flowing into some sweet grassy hops. Super low bitterness from the hops.
The flavor yields to the malts, flowing into a rich sweet nutty robust favor. Tickle of the malts sliding on into the aftertaste and finish.
On the palate, this one sat about a light to medium on the body with a fair sessionability about it. Sly tickle of the malts sliding in the back of the throat. Low carbonation. Sly stickiness.
Overall, pretty good old ale for the most malt, nice and thick maltiness seemed good for the style, but it does lack some of that \"tobacco\"-ey hops I usually like in this style. Still, I could come back to.

On tap at Vermont Tap House.
This was poured into a flared tulip.
The appearance was a dark burnt orange color, almost muddy. Bar pour’s kind of slim white head quickly dissipates. Some messy lace.
The aroma takes on some sweet peach, some subtle grassiness. Bitter lemon rind, subtle juiciness.
The flavor yields to the pressures of the bitterness, still subtle sweet hops and malts do a justice of blending nicely. Fully balanced bittersweet aftertaste flowing into the finish, but that’s fairly bitter, and dry.
On the palate, this one say about a light to medium on the body. Nicely carbonated. And a great amount of bitterness subjugating my tongue into submission.
Overall, this was a very good DIPA that I would have again.

Can at home in NH - sourced from Big Fatty’s. Pours clear orange-gold with a slim, foamy head. The nose holds mild, lightly toasted cereal, a little doughy bread. Medium sweet flavour with creamy cereal character, faint melon, hay, wholegrain bread, honey and caramel. Light to medium bodied with fine to average carbonation. Sweet finish with more cereal, biscuits, light melon, understated caramel. Pretty clean and really drinkable for a festbier.
