Vermont Brewers Fest ’07. Fresh dry-hopped nose, resin and citrus. Clean bitterness over a light earthy malt base. A touch of citrus, but mostly spicy/herbal hop character in this one. Juicy fruitiness and a bit of tropical fruit as well. Light crackery/bread crust maltiness. Moderate bitterness. Pineapple/grapefruit flavour on the finish. Another nice IPA at this fest.

Thanks to zzrbrrt for sharing this one. Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a foamy lacing off white head. Aroma of pine, some grapefruit and orange along with lots of caramel to balance. Flavor of grapefruit, nice bitter hop mouthfeel, caramel and nutty malt balance.

Pours a hazy, medium amber color with a frothy, off-white head. Settles a dark amber color with a murky appearance. Lots of particles in the body. Solid lacing. Aroma carries a heavy dose of inviting, wet grass hops. Initial taste is lightly bitter, but quickly escalates to a heavy bitter with a smooth finish. Delicious, creamy finish. Medium bodied, it has a slighty dry texture with soft carbonation. Body particles are not very evident on the tongue. Reviewed on January 13th, 2007.

(Draft @ brewpub) Very drinkable, great mouthfeel...Pours medium-dark amber with about two fingers of off-white head. Aroma is flowery hops, and a touch of fruitiness. Mouthfeel is great, almost silky. Nice lacing. Flavor is classic American IPA - flowery with a bit of fruitiness and touch of sweet malt. The bitterness overlays and gives you a little pinch in the finish - I’d say just about the right amount of bitterness for a good IPA. Nice stuff. Enjoyed while talking beer with one of the brewers.

Good amount of head--a tiny layer of micro-bubbles lasted forever. Really nice grapefruit (and generally citrusy) aroma, a portent of the intensely-hoppy nature of this brew. Crisp hops flavor, balanced by the sweet-yet-bitter grapefruit essence. Nice dry finish. Awesome.
