750ml growler muled by jercraigs & mabel - hurrah!! Hazy orange, huge fluffy lasting off-white head - a couple of floaties. Dry leafy/resin bitter aroma, some alcohol, citrus zest. Taste follows - dry, biscuit - did I say dry? - solid. Chewy, astringent, solid carbonation, longish finish - like dried wildflowers. Loved it.

Hazy orange tinged with gold, white lacing. Sweet pineapple, grapefruit, mango, peach, and citrus aroma. Very faint sweet and bitter taste. Crisp, light-bodied, but somewhat thin. A little bitterness in the finish and no alcohol presence.

This is an amazon beer. Great nose of citrus, pineapple and juicy peaches. The taste is amazing bitter but not so close that you would put into an ipa category. One of my favorites!

Tropical orange, white head, lots of lacing and champagne like carbonation. Really seems like an IPA because it’s got so much hop going on, but it’s very drinkable and, on second sip, more balanced than you first think with all the hops there. Amazing that you could get this much flavor in something that’s 5.2%

Dégustée en fût au Farmhouse Tap & Grill à Burlington, VT. De couleur dorée foncée et voilée. Nez de houblon fruité (agrumes, moyen de fruits tropicaux), légèrement citrique aux notes herbeuses et résineuses, moyen de céréales fraîches avec des notes de pain et de levures épicées (poivre doux). Moyennement ronde en bouche avec un pétillement moyen ainsi qu’une texture légèrement huileuse. Goût moyennement amer de houblon fruité et citrique (agrumes, léger de fruits tropicaux, notes d’abricots) aux notes herbeuses (une amertume présente toute la gorgée) accompagné de notes de levures épicées (poivre très doux) lors de l’entrée en bouche auquel se rajoute un goût de céréales fraîches et très légèrement sucrées ainsi que des notes de pain puis en finale l’amertume de houblon se fait plus herbeuse (herbes fraîches) avec de faibles traces résineuses. Post-goût moyen et aux notes sèches, moyennement amer de houblon fruité, herbeux et légèrement citrique avec des notes de céréales. (3 avril 2013)

Growler from the brewery. Pours a full, shiny matte gold with frothy white head. Phenomenal aroma with everything you’d want in a pale ale: Grapefruit, perfume, lemon rind, with just a slight background of pine and yeast. Slight biscuit in flavor but mainly juicy lemon rind, perfume, and grapefruit. Slight, soft lingering pine and lemon rind finish. The qualities here are like having a grass fed locally raised beef burger after years of fatty Piggly Wiggly ground beef. Damn drinkable and subtly addicting.

On tap at Mad Taco in Waitsfield, VT. Pours a hazy, deep gold with a foamy white head that hangs around. Aroma is a warm hops over citrus. Flavor is high citrus backed up by several hops in succession but remains bright and effervescent. Slightly bitter and refreshing aftertaste. Overall this is a beer with character but is not overpowering. Very drinkable.

Growler. Thanks to AdamJackson. Ohh Shit. Hayy yellow with a white head and lacings. Fruit forest. Tropical paradise. Red grapefruit, lemon, pine and strawberries. Bitter, crisp, dry and smooth. Long bitter finish. Incredible.

Appearance: Pours a hazy amber gold with a subsided white head.

Aroma: Tangerine, sativa dominate medical cannabis and toffee like malt.

Taste: Toffee, citris and piny hops, melon fruitiness. Finishes with earthy lingering bitterness.

Mouthfeel: Medium bodied, probably a bigger mouthfeel than most APAs, attributed to the lack of filtration.

Overall: Very tasty, vibrant, fresh and more complex than my go to, every day drinking American Pale Ales.

Une dernière pour la route en portion dégustation. Superbe bière qui impression par ses effluves de fruits tropicaux. La robe est dorée avec une couche de mousse blanche. La bouche est bien constituée, légère, facile à souhait, l’archétype de la bière idéale. J’adore.
