Picked up a few cans at the brewery in Stowe, VT. Pours an average size thick frothy off-white head and has a slightly hazy golden orangey appearance with tons of visible sediment. Thick soapy lace. Moderate carbonation. Aromas of floral and citrus hops, some yeasty notes and a bit of cereal malt. Flavours are quite hoppy with lots of citrus and piney notes. Quite yeasty in the finish. Nice hoppy bitterness as well.

Enjoyed at the pub right beside The Alchemist - Sunset Grille & Tap Room (as they were closed). Had some amazing brisket on this Easter weekend 2018 trip. Hazy golden colour with a white frothy head, long lasting and dirty lacing. Fresh hoppy nose with citrus pine and light caramel. Full hoppy taste with grassiness citrus super fresh. Very nice fresh citrus hoppiness with strong notes and beautiful dryness.

Pours hazy apricot with a thick eggshell head. Aroma delivers yeasty and hoppy tones. Hoppy flavor has yeasty and fruity notes in attendance. Mouthfeel features decent body and fizz. Focus on this banger! Speaking of focus - my Ford Focus recently hit 100,000 miles. Way to go, Connie!
