World renown Vermont-based moderation (in canned version) compares favorably to equally revered Russian River’s Pliney The Elder in all its fruitful splendor and is officially the first ever New England-styled India Pale Ale. Despite ‘Heady’ 8% ABV and massive 120 IBU hop measure, soft-tongued India Pale Ale retains a creamy eggshell head and lusciously well-balanced charisma. Lemony grapefruit, orange and tangerine juicing sweetened by honeyed peach, nectarine, mango, pineapple and guava tang as well as sugar-spiced caramel malting and floral-perfumed lavender, dandelion, elderflower and daisy bouquet. Dank hemp-oiled piney hop resin fortifies the back end. In 2021 canned version, soft-toned lemon zesting gained sweet orange peel tang contrasting reedy juniper hop bittering over lightly creamed candy-spiced crystal malting.  Proprietary cultured yeast boasts plenty of character without getting overstated. Believe the hype!
