One of the hoppiest IPA's I think I've ever tasted. In my opinion, it's all it's cracked up to be

The near mythological status precedes tasting, reading the can adding to the anticipation. Decide to follow directions and drink out of the can. Delightfully layered packed full of tropical notes if not slightly sweet but does not linger as sweet. Aroma through finish it is incredible and very drinkable with caution needed to remember the 8% abc. Had a pack of 4, the first 2 the best. May have held on to the second pair a bit too long as lacked the same intensity of flavor but may have been result of being several drinks in when opened.

Real nice IPA but as far as local north-central Vermont beers are concerned I still give the nod to Lawson's Sip of Sunshine.

Just drove 3.5 hours to Stowe by for this beer. Excellent, hop balance is as close to perfect as I have ever had, complex layers but not in your face hop pop. An incredibly drinkable double, going to have to plan another road trip

Great balance with loads of fruity hops. Not too piney. Strong without tasting boozy. Perfect bitterness
